I finally created an account on Bluesky.
If you are on there as well I'd like it if we kept in touch.

How exciting to arrive back home and find two new arrivals: Enduring Frameworks by @MarcoBeba and the Hopkins-Nanjing Book of Memories by He Chengzhou and Cornelius C. Kubler.

Beyond excited about this forthcoming book from @yalepress by Holly Stephens, which is sure to be a key text for years to come on the history of capitalism in the Japanese Empire, and the transformation of Korean rural society under empire.

@amyhawk_ loved your piece today. if you are interested in chatting about experiences bringing intl musicians to china (I'm looking for british bands and will bring toshiki soejima there, too) maybe let's do coffee in SH or BJ next time we're in each other's city?

(also: this could happen to UK artists at any time as well: reuters.com/world/china/chin… - I should have reached out to you back then, my bad.)

Another day, another flight.
I'm taking a JAL B767 back from HND to PVG after attending the #musicawardsjapan and Tokyo International Music Market.
A productive trip.
The flight is packed but on JAL I'm still fairly comfortable even at the back of the bus.

New financial data rules just dropped from Beijing (CAC, PBOC, CSRC, etc.), and they explain exactly why the Chinese market is going dark. 👇
A breakdown of the new "Financial Information Service Data Classification & Grading Guide":
1/ Political Security is King: The highest tier ("core data") is explicitly reserved for data that impacts political security. Security > Economy.
2/ The "Important Data" Trap: Almost everything is now restricted. This doesn't just cover steel or EV tech—it includes food/beverage, retail, and hospitality across provinces. If it’s broad economic data, it’s classified.
3/ The Fallout: This explains exactly why firms like Bernstein are pulling out of Chinese consumer sector coverage. You can't analyze what you can't see/say.
The Bottom Line: Analyzing the Chinese market is about to get a lot more murky. As I said long ago: from now on, all news will be good news. 🤫

Air China has two remaining passenger 747-400. B-2472 hasn't flown in more than a week and B-2447 is moved at best sporadically on domestic routes.
While fuel subsidies have recently been reduced by Chinese airlines I fear the day of the old Jumbos are numbered at Air China.

Things are not much better for the Air China B747-800 fleet:
B-2485, B-2481 are parked at PEK.
B-2482 only brought Xi to Pyongyang.
Only B-2480, B-2486, B-2487 are working.
Fly them now if you desire a trip on them.

The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum near Tokyo Station is showing an interesting exhibition called "Artists at the Cafe: from the Impressionists, Van Gogh and Tolouse-Lautrec to Picasso."
It is quite popular.

As I am leaving I am finding an announcement for Sugimoto's upcoming exhibition.
A reason to return to Tokyo.
