      Somewhat unrelated but a while back I requested some sources from you, sources that informed your opinions of contemporary China. You asked me to remind you in a couple of days but I kinda flopped. Asking again now!

      ok yes. most of what I have found so far is modern history rather than contemporary books (these I trust somewhat less) in no particular order: Invisible Chinahttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1414445686259535877?s=19 …

      ive been writing a thread about the first book linked if you're curious before / instead of buying. its not a super information dense book, just taking in the thesis is probably enoughhttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1414808857319145477?s=19 …

      from the same author, Imperial Twilight, which is an excellent account of the first Opium War and more interestingly somehow of the Canton tradehttps://smile.amazon.com/dp/0345803027/

      thread on Imperial Twilight you specified "contemporary" so not sure exactly how much of use these will be, but I think it's good to get this historical context because I understand it very much shapes contemporary Chinese views of itself in the worldhttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1337660490328109056?s=19 …

      I'm warming to _Imperial Twilight_ the later sections are exceptionally well-writen and researched about the Canton trade and about diplomatic operations from each side it's entrancing there's still occasional tendentiousness but now very outweight by the content
