About

Of Sinica

This is a window into observing and deconstructing contemporary China. Combining classical knowledge with daily life, I aim to present a genuine and multi-dimensional China—not only as I see it, but as I think and understand it.

If you have any curiosity or questions about the phenomena, history, or current state of this land, I am more than happy to explore them with you.

I explore China’s politics, economy and society through in-depth explanations and shorter readings of the news. I set out competing explanations, their evidence and the conditions under which they hold, so you can form your own judgment.

Of Sinica is my independent project within a wider network of independent projects. China in Fact, maintained by a separate team, covers a much broader range of subjects. Explore China in Fact
