Ask HN: Good Independent Blogs for News about China

Looking for a good news source w/ deep analysis so I can stay informed. Any recommendations?



I have a few - Bill Bishop's Sinocism is probably the first that comes to mind - https://sinocism.com/about More cynical towards China - Sinocism is a word-play. (But I think he is mostly fair in his critique)

https://supchina.com/ is a good website on this topic. I discovered them through a podcast call Sinica https://supchina.com/series/sinica/ (the podcast is extremely good)

Dan Wang https://danwang.co/ - some of his writing is scattered across different publications - it's best to follow him on Twitter - He is perhaps one of the deepest thinkers on the topic. More sympathetic towards China. If you really want to dive down the rabbit hole - look up his employer. It is a think-tank on China, and has some excellent publications.

Economist's coverage of China is also good.

Also I would like to recommend a book - Trade Wars are Class Wars - it's a popular book lately, and bring up some excellent concepts. From what I've heard this book is playing a role in framing how Washington is thinking about China now.


I ran across the program "China Tonight" on ABC in Australia.

It still felt a bit vapid in the way that tv news normally does but was much better than any American news programs I've watched in over a decade.

The clip I watched was on YouTube (below) not sure about the best way to watch it on a regular basis.
