A powerful long-form profile in by the Chinese journalist Jiang Xue of the wives of the 709 lawyers. As Jiang puts it, these women have grown into their own as strong, powerful, fighters for rights.

The golden sentence: "That which should be reformed and can be reformed, we will resolutely reform. That which should not be reformed or cannot be reformed, we will resolutely not reform." 该改的、能改的我们坚决改,不该改的、不能改的坚决不改。

Unbroken was a great Clint Eastwood movie.

My first thought when I read this was the Uighurs in re-education camps. “The enduring appeal of mental hygiene in China can be attributed to the way it satisfies the ongoing political desire for conformity and control.”

主啊,今天我们在警车上敬拜你,在派出所敬拜你,在看守所敬拜你,在监狱敬拜你,也要在家里敬拜你。我们没有别的目的,只是要单单来敬拜你,坐在通往警局的大巴,如同走在锡安的大道

My first thought: this church may be harder to close down than the government imagines...

Read this Chinese Christian version of Allen Ginsberg's Howl: We worship you in police cars. We worship you in police stations. We worship you in detention centers. We worship you in prison.

Walt, it would be great to hear your reasons and why you decided to stay on Twitter.

It used to be that if you had a vpn in China, then Twitter was an outlet. Most Chinese couldn’t read your posts but it was a way to get your views out into the broader world. Now that venue seems to be ending.

I agree. It’s become a bit of a straw man argument to say that everyone thought it would lead to liberalization.

An important point by and on China's new self-confidence (or arrogance?) in international affairs.

That's an interesting idea--I think if it's just music then it would be hard for the censors to get it. You'd need a Chinese person to post it on Youku or one of the Chinese video sites--YouTube, FB, Twitter etc banned in China. But you could post it inside China.
