Hailing from northeast China s Liaoning Province, Wei is a devotee of hanfu, a type of traditional garment of the Han ethnic group. The early 20-something bought the eye-catching outfit well before her trip to Xi an, a historical city in northwest China best known for the Terracotta Warriors. On social media, I saw many people visited Xi an wearing hanfu. They look very gorgeous, she said. The outfit s retro style goes particularly well with Xi an.

Microsoft-owned LinkedIn bowed to China once again when it reportedly censored the profile of a Swedish writer to appease the Chinese Communist Party.
Jojje Olsson shared a message on social media which he purportedly received from LinkedIn indicating the platform censored his profile for users in China. “[A]bsolutely unbelievable,” Olsson said in a tweet. The message stated that “due to the presence of prohibited content located in the Education section” of Olsson’s profile, that both his “profile” and “public activity” such as comments and posts he created would no longer be “made viewable” for LinkedIn users in China.
