Als Chinese literatuur vaak episodisch is en niet, zoals veel westerse literatuur, plotgedreven, hoe werkt dat dan bij een detective? Die gaat toch altijd van misdaad naar ontdekking van whodunnit en whydunnit. Lees in mijn blog hoe het boek van Katniss Hsiao laat zien hoe een misdaad-horrorroman episodisch werkt.

🇸🇧 “The biggest no-show was Matthew Wale, the Solomon Islands’ prime minister since mid-May. The outgoing chair of the PIF [Pacific Islands Forum], Mr Wale has been lobbying the forum to agree on a new treaty that would make it tougher for China to establish a military or police presence in PIF countries. But on the eve of the summit, three members of his cabinet resigned and filed a motion of no-confidence against him. Mr Wale rushed back to quell the parliamentary revolt. That left his proposed treaty without a champion in Palau.

🇵🇼 Surangel Whipps, Palau’s president and a longtime critic of China’s attempts to buy influence in strategically important Pacific island states, told reporters that, weeks earlier, China had threatened unnamed consequences if Palau invited Taiwan.”
