When I give talks on Zoom, I try to get a copy of the chat transcript to see reactions. Here are some examples from book talks I’ve given over the past year. #DomesticViolence
- “…This is so fucked up…”
- “what a joke” 也太搞笑了
- “my blood pressure has risen” 血压上来了
1/7
- “God, so sad” 天,好难过
- “So hopeless…it’s like this and you still can’t get divorced” 好绝望……这样还不让离婚嘛
- “Truly horrible, this is always the logic of denying divorce petitions” 真的太惨了,不判离婚的逻辑永远都是那一套
2/7
- “the plight of women is always ignored” 女性的处境始终是视而不见
- “beating up your wife and kids is no problem, much less beating up a judge” 打老婆孩子都能下得了手,打法官更不在话下
3/7
- “too scary, no wonder more and more women don't want to marry” 太可怕了,难怪现在越来越多的女性不愿意结婚
- “don’t get married” 别结婚😛
- “marry with caution” 结婚要慎重😂
- “if it’s for love, being [unmarried] lovers is also totally fine” 如果为了爱情,当情侣也很好😂
4/7
Most of the above reactions came from this talk:
HKU’s Equality Rights 平权在线
Part 1:
Part 2:
5/7
The rest of my talks, including these, were in English:

Harvard’s Fairbank Center


Stanford’s APARC


HKU’s Centre for Comparative and Public Law

Big news: China’s divorce rate plummeted in 2021 to its lowest level in over a decade. The blue and red lines in this figure from a Ministry of Civil Affair report show crude divorce and marriage rates respectively. 1/9
My new book is about China’s ongoing judicial clampdown on divorce. China’s precipitously declining divorce rate shows that the clampdown on divorce has extended from courts to the Civil Affairs Administration. 2/9
In China, people can divorce in two places: (1) courts and (2) marriage registration offices in local Civil Affairs Bureaus. Civil Affairs divorces became much easier following new regulations passed in 2003. 3/9
