「云南玉溪：数百回族穆斯林集会抗议中共抓捕知名阿訇（12月15、16日）」数百名回族穆斯林连续两天聚集在云南省玉溪市政府门前，抗议中国当局逮捕了一位受当地穆斯林尊敬的阿訇，这一事件凸显了中共对宗教团体日益收紧的控制，尤其是在西北地区以外的穆斯林社区。 据悉，12月15日上午，马玉巍阿訇在玉溪聂耳广场一家名为“蜀香串串香”的餐厅内被便衣警察强行带走。同一天，其在沙甸的弟弟也险些被捕，但由于当地民众的强烈反抗而幸免。这一系列逮捕行动迅速激起了当地穆斯林社群的愤怒，他们涌向市政府，要求释放马玉巍。截至16日上午，抗议活动仍在继续。（12 youtu.be/yg4vm59L-V8?...

How many times a day are you mansplained to? Just curious…

From now on, we plan to publish calls for papers for our forthcoming journal issues. Two calls are already out. The first is for an issue of the Made in China Journal about Chinese youth slated for publication in mid-2025.

With lots of new people joining Bluesky, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce the projects falling under the umbrella of the Global China Lab, a new non-profit we established this year with the aim of advancing open knowledge about China. 1/

In the 🧵 below, you will find all China-related starter packs that I know of, reverse sorted by number of people today. I occasionally search for new ones, but won't find them if the post (!) which introduces them doesn't contain certain keywords. Adding #Chinastarterpack facilitates search.
