Note

Throwing away all the scraps of paper in the apartment, ahead of a frenzied moving-out.

List of 'thematic angles' of something I scribbled down to try to begin writing about China:

  • 18th PARTY CONGRESS
  • POLLUTION
  • TRADE WARS AND ELECTION
  • CRACKDOWN ON LAOWEI
  • FOOD SAFETY
  • CROWDING + ALIENATION
  • NOUVEAU RICHE + ENGINEERED CONSUMERISM
  • URBAN TRANSFORMATION
  • MIND CONTROL: LIVING UNDER AUTOCRACY
  • CHEAP PAPER, FOOD
