Initially the young protester's bigotry towards mainlanders was offputting, but by the end I was in tears. Perhaps unintentionally protesters are risking destroying their own beautiful city for the benefit of many other Chinese who do not yet share the same values. Well-done TAL!

Everyone pushing lab leak allegations should listen to @NoreenMalone 's Slow Burn on the Iraq War. Seeding information-free allegations, using credulous reporters, reputation burnishing by those involved in a failure. It is so familiar. And it's an outstanding listen.

Private firms sometimes seek state (and affiliated) funding for a variety of reasons. Jack Ma & Ant Financial, e.g., proactively sought funding from the National Council for Social Security Fund in 2014 rather than the other way around.
