Nice @nytimes piece by @amy_changchien and @amyyqin on the short-lived phenomenon of open discussion of China’s political and social condition on #Clubhouse.

Reminiscent of Beijing Spring and Democracy Wall in 1978. https://twitter.com/amy_changchien/status/1358796672059383810
Short, interesting thread by @paulmozur.

Worth noting Clubhouse went viral not because of the platform and format (which is innovative and apparently even civil), but because of the otherwise forbidden topics being discussed. https://twitter.com/paulmozur/status/1358745066915860481
A China clone will undoubtedly emerge, with carefully vetted moderators, I’m sure.

Wumao - take note of the potential for promotion!

Bots can freely discuss their consensus of the correct view in complete harmony, leading to true AI with Chinese characteristics.
@KaiserKuo’s thread on his time spent in Clubhouse discussions is emotive.

He’s a great story-teller in any circumstance and his passion really comes out in this thread. https://twitter.com/kaiserkuo/status/1358112725038202880
Another perspective by @melissakchan capturing both the emotion and significance of the short-lived “Clubhouse Spring.” https://twitter.com/melissakchan/status/1358850101511356416
Nice piece by @lilkuo and @evadou on what Clubhouse meant for many during its brief window.

Read to the end for another sobering reminder about the state of reporting on China -

“Dou reported from Seoul. Lyric Li in Seoul and Alicia Chen in Taipei contributed to this report.” https://twitter.com/lilkuo/status/1358830626439188480
