Today I enabled a new element of the On the New Silk Road Substack: subscriber chat.
This is where we can discuss all elements of the New Silk Road / Belt and Road development, broader global changes and developments, or just provide a place were we can ask questions and share knowledge with each other. The idea is very similar to our open threads, where we’d host an expert on the Silk Road and have a discussion. It’s also a place where you can recommend places and projects for me to travel to as well as let me know the type of content that you’d like to see here.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
