Lockdown fatigue grows – European Council chief to meet Xi Jinping – US-China defence chiefs meet in Cambodia – China banks offer billions to developers – China rolls out private pension scheme

Hello,

I want to make a couple of announcements.

Firstly, you will notice I’ve changed the order and title of some of the newsletter sections. These updates should improve the experience of browsing and finding information in the proper categories.

Secondly, after over three years of uninterrupted weekly newsletters, I launched the option for readers to become paid subscribers to What’s Happening in China last week. Free subscribers will receive occasional public posts and will not have access to the archive.

I decided to make this week’s issue public.

If you find value in my work and are interested in more, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Thanks for your support.
