This has been perhaps my worst China week in my 15+ years of being here. Company goes wfh but boss overseas made it clear he still expects normal budgeted growth (over 40% growth this year are our targets) with no hiccups despite our factory shutting for a few days. Xi Jinping’s crusade against tech and love for Russia has erased about 20% of my portfolio in a few days time and I’m living in shanghai under the constant threat of lockdown. Already taken 3 tests this week and just waiting for the hammer to drop and snowmen to appear at my compound gates.

I’ve lived here and loved this place for a long time, but man things are changing fast and they aren’t changing for the better. Not really sure what to do but I thought I’d vent to you all.
