We are thrilled to announce that China Internet Watch has officially rebranded as China Innovation Watch! You can continue access CIW content on https://www.ciw.news. This exciting change reflects our commitment to bringing you deeper insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of innovation, technology, and digital trends in China.

A New Home on Substack
Alongside our rebranding, we’ve upgraded our content management system by migrating to Substack.com, a leading platform dedicated to enhancing your reading experience. This transition will streamline content delivery, improve readability, and offer a more interactive and community-driven experience.
Seamless Transition for Newsletter Subscribers
If you’re subscribed to our newsletter on Beehiiv, rest assured, your subscription will automatically migrate to Substack. No action is required on your part to continue receiving updates and exclusive content.
Continued Convenience for Paid Subscribers
If you’re a paid subscriber who originally subscribed using your credit card on chinainternetwatch.com (through Stripe via the Memberpress plugin), your billing information and subscription details have been securely and seamlessly transferred to our new Substack home at ciw.news. Your payments will continue to be processed by Stripe, and there will be no interruption or additional steps required on your part.
Your access on chinainternetwatch.com will be valid till 15 May 2025 while you have access on ciw.news. All new content will NOT be published on chinainternetwatch.com but ciw.news after 15 March 2025.
For subscribers on legacy PayPal payment gateway, we have canceled those subscriptions.
Existing subscribers from China Internet Watch will continue enjoying the discounted rate after the migration until you cancel the subscription; and the billing cycle remains the same.
