Here’s some pieces worth reading on China regarding to censorship, spying, and China’s approach to the world:

1. Christopher Robin is banned in China for a very interesting reason.
2. Here’s more on Xi Jinping.
   Not that China is unique in that regard, but here’s a piece on China making people install spyware on their phones when visiting.
3. Here’s something written on China and the Uyghur population.
4. Along with spying, there is also the issue of censorship in China. Here’s a piece on that.
5. Noah Smith writes well on China. Here’s something he wrote on on China’s popularity (his assessment is that China is not a popular country in the world).
6. Finally am not sure I agree with this, but this is worth a read: on how Chinese people think differently
