What Happened to Zhao Wei?

Cancel culture Sino-style. @bariweiss @McCormickProf "Zhao’s disappearing act was far more thorough: overnight, she was erased from the internet. Her Weibo social media page, with its 86 million followers, went offline, as did fan sites dedicated to her. https://t.co/GyRebLhVrw

The Foreigner

Does the movie have a disclaimer: "Islam is not blamed for terrorist acts"? Who are the terrorists supposed to be? Disgruntled white ex-IRA members? Why not just make the terrorists neo-Nazis hiding out in Britain?

Jet Li's Wuji

Adidas has a new campaign featuring Wuji, a fitness and healthy system created by Jet Li. The video posted on FB. It looks like a mix of wushu and taiji, and my guess is that its purpose is to promote health through some sort of qi gong. (It is probably useless for actual self-defense, even if it were to include self-defense training as a component.) How many instructors does Li have? Will he be opening a school in Beijing and elsewhere? Will it be successful in China? People will probably continue to practice wushu, taiji, and qi gong instead.
