What is the #dailysoup?

Inspired by Pekka Kallioniemi’s #vatniksoup, the #dailysoup is a series of Twitter and Instagram threads (or entries) covering different stories of China-related and Russia-related controversies, particularly those related to political, business, geopolitical, and economic issues in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the mechanisms behind them.

The #dailysoup aims to expose controversial individuals, projects, and organisations that look good on the outside, but insidiously support the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) or Putin’s Russia or both.

However, I reserve the right to include controversies from other regions outside the Asia-Pacific region and controversies that are not China-related or Russia-related, as long as they are extraordinarily grave, interesting, and crucial.

The #dailysoup is the Asian version of #vatniksoup. The aim for the #dailysoup is to simplify stories of different China and Russia-related APAC controversies for the social media-savvy generation, promoting awareness and truth in the era of disinformation and “fake news”.

Feel free to enjoy reading the #dailysoup entries, which are indicated in the links below in reverse chronological order.
