I stumbled across your Substack on Twitter and loved this story so much I became a subscriber. Pls keep up the excellent content. I quit reading most mainstream western media on China. Refreshing to read micro to macro perspective. Thanks!

Thanks for your insights. It's good to get an intelligent observer's account of the life that the Chinese live at the local level, and the fantastic capacity for hard work, for innovation and improvement in a very short time. It gives one confidence in the ability of humans to adapt and thrive. I hope there is a future for these textile workers. It appears that the people in charge have the right intentions. I'm sure that the market will expand.
