5 measurements spanning 22 days, net +10. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 271–284 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.

ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Readings taken8 Aug 2026, 08:47 UTC

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.

Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.

Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Reaction mix

92 reactions across 20 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 56.5% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 92 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 29 July 2026 to 7 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Hello everyone. Here's this week's collection of Friends of Socialist China updates - https://us6.campaign-archive.com/?e=3d3064ebb5&u=083d285f8cfc91aec23f38eb9&id=67b479db40

3,817 people were left paraplegic by the 1976 Tangshan earthquake. Fifty years on, more than 130 still live at the rehabilitation centre, and the state's commitment has not lapsed. "That achievement did not come from one medical breakthrough. It came from a commitment that no one would be left behind." https://socialistchina.org/2026/08/07/caring-for-the-tangshan-earthquake-survivors-half-a-century-on/

Vietnam's $115bn trade deficit with China is held up as evidence of predation. But over half its imports are capital goods – computers, electronics, machinery. As Zhou Xiaoming puts it: Vietnam's deficit is a receipt for industrialisation. https://socialistchina.org/2026/08/07/chinas-exports-support-global-south-development/

To paraphrase Kissinger: to be an enemy of the US may be dangerous, but to be a friend of the US is fatal. Ask Ukraine.

China's ambassador to the UK, Zheng Zeguang, in the Guardian: no country has a monopoly on innovation. British strengths in frontier research and life sciences pair naturally with China's scale in deployment – and security concerns shouldn't be a blanket excuse for fragmenting global innovation. https://socialistchina.org/2026/08/07/chinese-ambassador-calls-for-uk-and-china-to-cooperate-on-ai/

Hegseth told Washington's Asian allies to spend 3.5% of GDP on arms – "more ships, less Shangri-La".

Fish biomass in the Yangtze is up over 200% since 2021; a sturgeon has spawned in the wild for the first time in 20 years. The Economist's response? Call it "eco-authoritarian" and warn it "deserves scrutiny before being imitated." A masterclass in the "but at what cost" genre. https://socialistchina.org/2026/07/31/but-at-what-cost-the-yangtze-edition/

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @socialist_china. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
