Chinese Jewish Institute
- Chinese Jews are the descendants of Han Chinese and Sephardic Jews who migrated to China thousands of years ago. They reside along the banks of Yellow River, in the cradle of a great civilisation, but unknown to most people.
- They boast a profound line of descent, from ancestors who fled Roman persecution during Han Dynasty to merchant forefathers who journeyed across the Silk Road during Tang Dynasty, the Jews found a new home for themselves in China.

The Chinese Government Tries to Ban a Protest Song from Major Platforms
https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/06/20/hong-kong-tech-firms-should-oppose-protest-song-ban
In a June 20, 2023 letter, more than 24 human rights and digital rights groups urged companies including Apple, Google, Meta, Twitter, and Spotify to oppose a potential injunction by the High Court of Hong Kong to protect the right to freedom of expression and access to information in Hong Kong and around the world. The injunction, if ordered by the court, would require that companies remove the song from their respective platforms, effectively banning it online.
The sought-for injunction reflects the Chinese government’s expanding efforts to control information not just within its borders, but around the world. Between July 2020 and June 2022, the Hong Kong government was responsible for 50 instances in which Meta said it was forced to remove content globally.
The song is called "Glory to Hong Kong," and (as you would expect) there are both Chinese and English versions.

Mel Gibson Calls for Release of American ‘Man of Great Faith’ Mark Swidan, Jailed in China for a Decade
Actor and Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson is raising awareness of American citizen Mark Swidan’s plight — as he has been imprisoned in China since 2012 and placed on death row for a drug charge that was clearly never proven by the Communist country’s prosecutors.
“Mark Swidan has been wrongfully and unlawfully imprisoned by the Chinese for almost 11 years,” the Passion of the Christ director told News Nation last week.
“He faces a death sentence. He’s a man of great faith, an American patriot, and he refuses during his captivity to renounce either his faith or his country,” Gibson added.
The Patriot star urged Americans to speak out and contact their representatives in Washington to advocate for the federal government to call for Swidan’s release.
“Let us pray that indeed he remained faithful to Christ and that he’d be repatriated very soon and delivered from his unjust captivity,” he said.
The U.S. State Department has ruled that Swidan has been “wrongfully detained” and says it will “continue to press for his immediate release.” The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for the Texas man’s release this week. The United Nations has also determined that Swidan was arrested and prosecuted in violation of international law

Opinion The inside story of how the U.S. shot down the Chinese balloon
(sorry if this is paywalled :( )
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/04/chinese-balloon-pentagon-intelligence-details/
I really really really want to find this tree to plant it in my future house.
It is an amazing tree, grewing up in southern Iran, we had a huge (over 40m) tall tree that covered our whole yard making it so pleasant even during the 40+ temperature of hot summers of Kuzestan province of Iran.
It's fruits were sweet and delicious. The pits were medicine for stomach problem and it's leafs were used for centuries as natural shampoo or har softener. But also making natural cream for dry and irritated skin as lwwll as addition to candles to make it smell good.
My entire childhood was filled with memories of climbing that tree and driving my mother crazy, or enjoying the 12m high swing my father had installed on the tree and so many lovely adventures to find all the birds living in the tree and every now and then trying to climb and catch some, not to mention occasional rescue mission when one of the birds managed to fall down into the small pool we had in the middle of our yard and getting the whole family to help return the baby bird back to where it was.
