REQUESTS:

Please ask your friends to join, everyone is welcome, but special
focus is intended for the non-Chinese people to engage in an
educational dialogue with the nature, challenges, limitations and
successes of the PRC and CPC. However, please do not interpret this in
anyway as to discouraging Chinese people in joining – you are more
than welcome!

To our Chinese and Chinese-speaking friends, due to the advantage of
language, you have a special insight into the PRC, so please help us
non-Chinese and non-Chinese speaking people to understand the PRC and
CPC, help translate things into English from articles, youtube videos
etc, that you think maybe of interest. This could be music, food,
politics, comedy, anything!
