Changes to the Five Things newsletter

Dear Five Things on China’s Leaders’ Minds reader,

After around a year of trials, we’re making some changes to Five Things on China’s Leaders’ Minds.

First, we will be taking the newsletter fortnightly. From next week onward, we will be sending it out every other Monday.

Its purpose will remain the same as it has been up to now – using software to monitor China’s media and identify the main ideas China’s leaders want their own officials to pay attention to.

But we will also be broadening its coverage to include other policy-related articles and documents we see as being important.

As before, this newsletter will be free and available to anyone who signs up.

If there’s someone who you think would like it, please feel free to onsend them a copy of the newsletter or tell us about them.

Second, we will be launching a subscription-only daily. This will focus strictly on the five most widely circulated articles in China’s official media from the preceding 24 hours.

As with the fortnightly, we will be looking at the contents of the articles featured through the lens of policy-making.

We will announce details of this newsletter in the very near future.

Finally, also in our pipeline is the launch in the next few weeks of a fortnightly newsletter tracking and analysing Chinese financial policy-making.

We are looking forward to unveiling this shortly. If you would like to sign up to receive trial versions of this publication, please send an email to fivethings@bilby.ai.

Thank you for your support of Five Things on China’s Leaders Minds. If you have any comments or suggestions, or just want to say hello, then write to us – also at fivethings@bilby.ai.

With all our best wishes,

Ryan Manuel and Simon Cartledge
