Greetings from Beijing. My name is Yuzhe He 何宇喆, founder and editor of this newsletter. I was born and raised in central China's Hubei Province, before moving to Fuzhou, Fujian Province - my father's hometown - where I earned my bachelor’s degree from Fujian Normal University in June 2022. Afterward, I pursued a master’s degree in conference interpreting at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, graduating in June 2024. Since July 2024, I have been working at the Beijing headquarters of Xinhua News Agency, China's state newswire.
My goal with this newsletter is to provide China Watchers with an authentic, multidimensional, and comprehensive 真实、立体、全面 view of China, contributing in some small way to a deeper understanding.
Amidst the flood of opinions on China, I'm not here to add more noise. My focus is on translating Chinese voices, sometimes offering my two cents, to bridge the East-West information gap.
Starting in 2025, I've chosen to dedicate most of my efforts to covering China's climate change and decarbonization initiatives.

Therefore, the views expressed here are mine alone. Whether this content constitutes “Grand External Propaganda” is entirely up to your interpretation.
I aim to deliver at least 3-4 articles per month, sometimes more. I devote my spare time to curating the newsletter, so I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for subscribing - whether you discovered this newsletter through a friend, social media, or elsewhere.
