«Just as important as what you write in China is what you don’t write: the sources you don’t quote (even if they say it’s “no problem”); the pictures you don’t take; the homes and workplaces you don’t barge into.

And you’ll have long ago left town when he comes back to visit that fascinating internet entrepreneur whom you drank tea with for a couple of hours in Wuhan.

His wife won’t call you when he gets dragged off to the police station for “questioning.” They’ll have learned their lesson — not to talk to reporters — but you won’t be there to learn yours.»
