As of May 29th 2025, I am happy to announce a bit of a rebrand from CounterPoint China to CounterPoint Global which better reflects my sharing interests, knowledge & experience based on living in China for 25 years along with other interests & experiences including geopolitics of other countries, success, philosophy & spirituality in life's journey, music, older mens health.
While mainstream media news have forgotten the importance of building trust, independent platforms like substack enable me to build my audiences trust & faith by publishing information that I know without a doubt is correct and valid, not politically driven propaganda.
Your support as a paid subscriber is rewarded by receiving the e-book China Trilogy Collection - 3 Volume Set of all three of my books published on China, that’s well over 700 pages sharing almost 25 years of living like a local here in China and investigative research on the country.
Feel Free to Buy Me A Coffee at this link
Special Value 3 Volume Book Offer for all new paid subscribers…
China Book Trilogy Collection places all three of my published books on China in one single e-book file:
1. China: The Truth of Trillions, published by SinoMedia International, San Francisco, U.S. in 2014
2. China: The Dragon Roars On which I self-published on Amazon Kindle, 2019
3. Somethings Not Right Here Folks, published in Hard Cover Print Edition by Skylark Publishing Hong Kong, 2021
I will send the China Book Trilogy Collection to your email address within 5 days of your paid subscription.
Final Thoughts | My thoughts on China are rarely “opinion”. I focus on clarifying descriptions of reality based on information that is apodeictic (my new favorite word in the English language), not rhetoric. Apodeictic means “evidently observable, certain to be, beyond dispute” If its not that, then I won’t claim it without solid references. When it comes to China, the mis and disinformation is a destructive cancer that must be countered and this is how I do my best to accomplish that.
For Free subscribers, public free work will continue to be found via Twitter, on my Youtube videos & livestreams, and in the media in which I am regularly published such as my articles, guest appearances and video interviews in China Daily, Xinhua News, CCTV, Global Times, Phoenix TV Hong Kong.
I am actually quite excited about this in terms of having the Substack platform as an organizing base for all my work. You as a subscriber are an insider and deeply appreciated and you will have access to the only inside window view of my work as it is created and finally published.
Please do engage with me in the comments section to add your thoughts, questions and concerns.
I will arrange regular private zoom meeting discussions for PAID SUBSCRIBERS where we can have real, unfiltered conversations about China and many other topics we care about and enjoy.

Cavolo has written the Freakonomics for China watchers. What Dubner and Levitt did for our assumptions about how America and the global economy work, he does for China…shrewd observation, cultural insight and basic microeconomics to blow apart the cliches.
Nicholas MacDonald, former Editorial Director, iTV Asia
Mario Cavolo gives readers a ‘boots on the ground” perspective rarely found in today’s literary circles…he lives and breaths the culture of the Middle Kingdom with each passing day
Gene Kern, President, Emperor Foods China
Offering an on-the-street, down to brass tacks look at how the Chinese economy works from the perspective of somebody in the thick of it, that combines the personal side of the former with the number crunching of the latter.
