Waypoints: About Reddit AMA, China’s shadow war, and good food

I’m hosting a Reddit AMA with Zack Whittaker of TechCrunch on r/pwnhub on Wednesday, August 12 at 5PM PT! Ask us anything about the American citizen charged with a felony for wiping his phone at the US border, device security, and protecting your digital data. See this announcement for more information. I’ll be posting as runasand_.

China’s shadow war is an investigative podcast series from The Observer, published in late March, exploring transnational repression, state-backed intimidation, and covert operations conducted by the Chinese state in the UK and the US. I wrote about how China targets civil society abroad in 2023. Last year, ICIJ published an investigation into China’s sinister tactics based on interviews with more than 100 victims in 23 countries. In April, ICIJ reported that its journalists had been targeted by Chinese actors following the publication.
