Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

That’s why I prefer to listen to Chinese news.
I used to live in China and as a confusion society there is lots of respect for the elderly.
