Han Zhen (寒槙)

Han Zhen (寒槙) has an extensive background in working and conducting research in both China and Africa. Unfortunately, for personal security reasons, we can’t use their real name or provide any other identifying information about them. Han explained that they’re not concerned about the Chinese government’s reaction to their work with CGSP, since most of this content will draw on material already in the public domain. Rather, they’re concerned about attracting the attention of nationalist trolls online. Getting doxxed and harassed by the online mob is a real concern today. There are a lot of people, regrettably, who regard the contextualizing of Chinese-language content for an international audience as unpatriotic.
