After six years, I’ve left @SixthTone. Or conditions were created for me to leave after publishing a project that criticized “zero-COVID,” which landed multiple people in hot water. It’s been bittersweet leaving a place we’ve built over the years but it was time. (A long 🧵) pic.twitter.com/6IRPTwOzXg— Bibek Bhandari (@bibekbhandari) May 10, 2023
China shooting themselves in the goddamned foot. Being self-critical gave Sixth Tone a lot of credibility among normies. But nooooo...pointing out real problems honestly makes the higher-ups lose face! And if there's one thing a Xiist publication can never do, it's make the powerful lose face!
