        Sigh. And do you know what the worse thing anyone can say to #HongKonger's is? It's "Get used to it!"

        Please do: @julietlapidos deserves a nod for having thought my submission promising enough to route to you; I take seriously the way editors improve my writing; multiple people helped w/this; in addition to those mentioned, draft-reading friends like Niko Pfund & @mauracunningham

        Hong Kong never has democracy as big as today. But HK does have the law and freedom which hasn’t changed. If you want some selfish ideas to save the Hong konger, then get rid of it. Save yourself first, moving to the most democratic places and enjoy your life.

        Hi, Jeff, Have you written about Taiwan recently? We were just there during the election and I would be curious to read your thoughts. Looking forward to reading this, though not to what it portends. Yours truly, Jon

        I haven’t written about Taiwan lately, but there was a very good piece on the situation there well before the election by @jeffreychngo in @DissentMag ...& @lnachman32 & @brianhioe did a good one for @ChinaFile on the eve of the election; I head there in March for a short visit

        Please worry about your own democracy first. Your president paid porn star off illegally and obstruction of justice in daylight. Give me a break.
