About

Thank you much for stopping by!

The Greater China Journal is a fully independent website about China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I publish in-depth articles about the history, society and culture of the Chinese-speaking world, as well as news that is not covered in the mainstream media.

I use the term “Greater China” as a synonym for the Chinese-speaking areas of East Asia and it is in no way intended as an endorsement of a political notion of China as a state.

If you enjoy my work, you can support me with a donation on my Ko-fi page.
