The China General Chamber of Commerce building at 24-25 Connaught Road in Central, Hong Kong is worth a few pictures I think, if you’re opposite and can snap it through the flyovers that rather obscure it to the casual passing eye while it’s also quite unprepossessing at street level …

Rua do Dr Lourenco Pereira Marques runs along Macao’s inner harbour. Among the warehouses on this road is the one below - empty but in fairly good condition & with many original features intact…. Not sure if there are any plans for it as such but it does appear to be at least basically maintained….

Zhang was arrested in late July. Neither her family nor friends have had any contact with her since. She returned to China this summer from #France planning to travel into more Tibetan regions.

Excellent explainer of #HongKong government's own understanding of 軟對抗 'soft resistance' via Joy Dong for The New York Times - in fact they can't even define it themselves!
