<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Welcome to the 1</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">7</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">th edition of Changpian, a selection of feature and opinion writing in Chinese. With other resources devoted to the many interesting sound bites from Chinese social media, this newsletter focuses instead on some of the wealth of longer writing that is produced in Chinese, both in traditional news media and on platforms like WeChat.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Changpian includes any nonfiction writing, from stories and investigations to interviews and blog posts, that I found worth my time – and that you might like as well. It aims to be relevant to an understanding of Chinese society today, covering topics in and outside the news cycle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The selection is put together by me, Tabitha Speelman, a Dutch journalist and researcher currently based in Leiden, The Netherlands. As always, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">feedback is </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">very welcome (</span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><u><a href="mailto:tabitha.speelman@gmail.com"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="mailto:tabitha.speelman@gmail.com">tabitha.speelman@gmail.com</a></span></a></u></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> or @tabithaspeelman).

<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Also, happy year of the dog and thanks for reading. Changpian first came out during last year's Spring Festival holiday, so it's just celebrating its first anniversary. It has been fun to do, also because of your support. This Spring, issues will be more sporadic, but I plan to keep it going, if at a much less ambitious frequency than when Changpian started last year as a 'weekly' newsletter.</span></p>

<p>Given the relative lack of society-wide discussion on racism so far, it feels especially unfortunate that most articles on last week's controversial 春晚 <span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"><span lang="zh-CN"><a href="http://mail01.tinyletterapp.com/tabithaspeelman/changpian-a-monthly-selection-of-chinese-nonfiction-writing-02-19-2018-1/10860757-tv.cctv.com/2018/02/15/videfjb4e4idjtanqnigfqyj180215.shtml?c=79b35478-6284-4f80-9707-e6264218ea08">《同喜同乐》</a></span></span>skit, which <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">aims to celebrate China-Africa </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">ties</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> in the Belt and Road era, </span>have been blocked on WeChat. Low official tolerance for <span lang="zh-CN">春晚 </span>criticism in recent years might be more to blame for this than the topic of racism, but it's hard to tell.
