For time and proportionality’s sake my excursion to South Shaanxi Rd. Post Office was a short one. For time’s, because I went there after lunch on a workday — my internship is at a firm not too far off, but still, spending any more time at the post office would mean less time at the …

I happened upon another post office earlier today while visiting Shanghai Mart, which in its proper Chinese name should be known as the World Trade Building or the World Trade Shopping Center (“世贸商城”). Built in 1999, presumably in anticipation of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization and its subsequent opening-up, the complex still retains …

Featuring: Postal vans, postal electric bicycles, EMS logistics and stamps. As promised, a second go at Shanghai’s postal facilities the day after my first, this time the postal branch office (“支局”) on Tianshan Rd.

Any habitual reader of my blog (a species that I suspect does not exist) must know of my interest in things postal, as my quests to several DC post offices hopefully have made clear. However, since this interest grew out of my visit to the National Postal Museum, ever since when I have yet to …

*Originally published on another blog of mine, Miscellaneous Notes, now republished here with slight edits and modifications* Alas, while the USPS and its army of postal workers take a well-deserved break on Jan. 1, a postal tourist knows no reprieve, and — as not one of DC’s post offices is open — went back to …

This is one of the assignments I did for “The Culture of Journalism” at Brandeis University by Professor Ann Silvio during Fall 2021. We were to pick one issue and conduct interviews on it. It was a few months after China announced its “double reduction” policy, putting a stop to the expansion of fee-based extracurricular …

这是我之前几周在汇添富实习时完成的一项行业研究，简单考察了一下中国乳制品市场的构成、竞争、发展前景和成本分布，以及相关的上下游产业。不构成投资建议也不代表汇添富基金或其他相关人员的意见。 This is an industry research I conducted during my internship at CUAM, in which I explored the competitive landscape, future prospects, costs, as well as the overall supply chain of the Chinese dairy industry. I wish I could attach an English translation of this study, just like I did with the two earlier posts, …
[This is my English translation of the previous post] This is the second major article I wrote during my internship at Intelligeast; posted here is the same draft that was published by its official WeChat account. UPDATE: In the paragraph concerning the WTO dispute over the export of steel fasteners, note that AllBright Law represented …
