A selection from journo Melissa Chan's feed

This is a big moment in China. I've never seen so much raw emotion on WeChat from so many. An outpouring of grief over the death of Li Wenliang and tributes to his courage, mixed with seething anger at what can only be described as the system.

100% of my WeChat feed, from dissident lawyers to Huawei employees, is raging over Li’s death. Haven’t seen China unified like this since the Wenzhou train crash. pic.twitter.com/lJQE1XMJBQ

If the Communist Party of China cares about its image and its future among the people it governs, it might want to start praising Doctor Li Wenliang, who has reportedly died from the virus he tried to alert authorities about, and it might help to apologize for his arrest.

Police response when Li raised the alarm: “We hope you can calm down and reflect on your behavior. We solemnly warn you: If you keep being stubborn, with such impertinence, and continue this illegal activity, you will be brought to justice — is that understood?”

another team project @ NYTimes:

My name is on this story about the roots of China's viral crisis. But it's really the work of a great orchestra of journalists, especially our Chinese colleagues in the Beijing bureau: Elsie, Claire, Zoe, Amber, Yiwei and Albee. I thank them; you can too. https://t.co/2zhvB1L70v
