Field Notes measured from China

The newsletter

One email every two weeks or so. The new posts first, the numbers behind them with the links to re-run them, and — when something did not survive checking — that too.

What arrives

  • One topic per email, from any of the six sections: everyday China, health, supply chains, open data, 海外华人, and the AI tooling I test for a living.
  • The post itself, plus the source or dataset behind the main number, so you can check it rather than take my word for it.
  • Occasionally, a note on something that came out wrong or could not be confirmed. Those usually do not make it into a post; they make it into the email.

What does not arrive

No ads, no sponsors, no affiliate links. Nothing is sent more often than every two weeks, and the list is not sold or shared. Unsubscribing takes one click and does not need a reason.

How it works

Delivery is handled by MailerLite. However you end up on the list, the unsubscribe link at the foot of every email works immediately and does not need a reason.
