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
You know it’s just a matter of time although His Majesty doesn’t read English.
Lab-leak China watcher:
I’m getting the feeling in some years zero-Covid will be censored like the Tiananmen protests.
And of course:
Your mistake was working for the CCP state media. No matter how valid your complaints may be, it’s the CCP, so what did you expect? You should have gone west. There’s still time.
And:
What do you think is the reason Chinese gov funding English media? To bash China？That can count on countless western media, they don’t need another one. Editorial freedom? Pretty sure VOA and RFA has them. They can tolerate critisism of Uncle Sam
Well. I can’t imagine someone who worked at an establishment like Sixth Tone for years, and even after the departure still said in the last tweets of the thread to continue reading it because they still do great work, would be too enthused by those replies.
I just don’t even understand how these people find these threads?? How do they even know what Sixth Tone is? They clearly haven’t read it at all.
