China is expelling all American journalists w/the NYT, WSJ & WaPo — myself included. So many feelings, but I keep coming back to my last trip, to Wuhan, where ppl were so willing to talk - they wanted the world to know what was happening to them and to hold their govt accountable

Surreal and horrifying to wake up on the morning of June 4 - the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown - to this headline.

Day 10 of the lockdown in Wuhan. Instructions for residents on how to stop the spread of the coronavirus blare out over loudspeakers, echoing in the empty streets. (Sound on)

Just arrived in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, which has been under lockdown for more than a week now. The mood among locals: anxiety, flashes of anger & frustration, and extreme boredom. Here I am getting my temperature measured in a hotel lobby.

We passed a cluster of flower shops that were all closed for the lockdown. Many had placed funeral arrangements outside their store fronts, asking people to scan a QR code for payment (50rmb/arrangement.) Rare to see the honor system in China.

As the debate over the virus origins raged last week, I picked up the phone & called the Wuhan scientist at the center of the lab leak theories. To my surprise, she picked up. More on what Dr. Shi Zhengli, the "Bat Woman," had to say in our profile.

Since 1851, obituaries in the NYT have been dominated by white men. Now, we are adding the untold stories of the remarkable women who were overlooked, incl. Sylvia Plath, Ida B. Wells, & Charlotte Brontë and more

Remarkable People We Overlooked in Our Obituaries (Published 2024)
The poet Sylvia Plath and the novelist Charlotte Brontë. Ida B. Wells, the anti-lynching activist. These extraordinary people — and so many others — did not have obituaries in The New York Times....

On a lighter note, with the lockdown of the city and everyone cooped up inside all day, there’s been an unexpected side effect: so much public pajama wearing.

If they can help it, most people are trying to stay away from hospitals. 1 delivery guy told us he rejects most hospital orders because he is scared to get too close. He made an exception one time: to deliver a large donated meal to frontline doctors & nurses.

As China built up a vast network of internment camps for Muslims, it oversaw a parallel effort to corral Uighur children into boarding schools. The aim? To indoctrinate a new generation of Uighurs who are secular and more loyal to the party and the nation.
