Celebrate the Year of the Horse with 50% Off Sinocism

Brief

Sinocism’s Lunar New Year email is a straightforward subscription promotion rather than an analytical newsletter. Bill Bishop offers new subscribers a first-year discount of 50%, lowering the annual price from $218 to $109 through February 18 at midnight EST. The pitch emphasizes four paid benefits: daily in-depth newsletters and podcasts, access to years of searchable archives on China’s politics and economy, participation in the Sinocism chat community, and the weekly Sharp China podcast. Bishop argues that reliable China analysis will be especially valuable as US-China relations come into sharper focus in the coming years, referencing his experience covering China through the first Trump administration. However, the email provides no substantive geopolitical, economic, or technical content; it is essentially a marketing message aimed at converting free readers to paid subscribers.
