端传媒的作者“吉汉”发文介绍了我前些日子在Theory and Society上发表的论文中主要的研究发现（“重庆模式”究竟是什么、它特殊在哪里、和当时的高层政治又是什么关系），并引申讨论了“重庆模式”是如何塑造习时代的政治转型的。“重庆模式”是中国当代政治史的重要一环，值得更多严肃认真的讨论和研究，我们对它的理解不能停留在“唱红打黑”的肤浅印象和“海伍德事件”、“王立军夜奔”的丑闻噱头上。希望我的研究能起到抛砖引玉的作用。https://6pm6n5.coding-pages.com/20200812-1.html

Telegram is a free app and runs on donations. According to a blog on the telegram: We believe in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free. Pavel Durov, who shares our vision, supplied Telegram with a generous donation, so we have quite enough money for the time being. If Telegram runs out, we will introduce non-essential paid options to support the infrastructure and finance developer salaries. But making profits will never be an end-goal for Telegram.
