Are there particularly good news sources to follow? I'm not sure what to follow to get either the source material or good commentary.

  Right now, I try to consume content directly from the dragon's mouth with official news and reports, but it requires a bit of experience knowing how to read between the lines and having a strong bullshit parser. Similarly, most English language analysis from mainstream media is comically bad - CNN and American news outlets sent reporters to Beijing this week and bombarded attendees and delegates walking into the congressional hall with questions about Trump and tariffs, in English. Who does that?? Admittedly, I do like the stuff that comes out of Stanford's Digichina group, https://digichina.stanford.edu/work/?page=1&sort_order=desc&sort_by=iso_date https://digichina.stanford.edu/work/?page=1&sort_order=desc&..., they seem dedicated to doing an actual analysis and not just spewing brainless propaganda (HBR, looking at you). But yeah, it's hard out here to find any real meaningful information, so I've been debating starting up a substack myself, but with an additional academic research focus.

    TP Huang has a pretty good substack[0]. Its a nice insider look. And its not fake stuff, its just looked at through the most red-yellow colored glasses there are. [0] https://tphuang.substack.com/ https://tphuang.substack.com/

      There’s a ton of people I follow on twitter too, @beijingdai, @wmhuo168, @rnaudbertrand. All have great rants.
