Weekly Reading
We recommend reading Holly Snape ’s  guide to Resources for Researching with Party and Government Documents, featured in the  latest issue of Neican on March 22. The original version was published as a Wechat  post .

This is very informative and straightforward guide to how you can take on the daunting but critical task of reading primary language sources for yourself.
