Since arriving in China, meetings founders and VCs have left me with a very dim view of the current state affairs. Things are so bad. In 2018, 51,302 new startups were founded. Last year, that number was down to 1,202. It took a while for that number to sink in.

Pretty clear statement here from China. In the Taiwan Strait “there are no so-called ‘international waters,’” only internal waters, territorial waters, contiguous waters and the EEZ. Not sure many other nations agree, and this is going to be an increasingly contentious point.

One of the worst tweets I've seen in a while, and it's tweets like this thay remind me I need to spend less time on this app. Unhinged, utterly detached from reality, and an insult to all women in China.
