## What is Xiazi Says?

See the world more clearly.

Xiazi Says is a daily visual world briefing: one overview and eight distinct stories, with nine posters in each language. Clear writing, visual storytelling and direct source links give you a focused starting point for understanding a changing world.

START WITH THE BIG PICTURE
Read the overview, then explore the stories that interest you. Follow AI, technology, business, science, international affairs and other global developments, without an endless feed competing for your attention.

ONE WORLD, TWO LANGUAGES
Each edition is available in English and Chinese. Choose the language that works for you, or switch to explore the same edition in the other language. Explore the same stories through two languages.

NEWS TO SEE, SAVE AND SHARE
Discover a different visual style each day. Open original posters, save complete images, or share dated story links so others can read the corresponding article. Posters include AI-assisted illustrative artwork, not photographs from the scene.

FOLLOW THE SOURCES
Go beyond the briefing through direct links to original sources. Explore previous editions for context. The briefing is a starting point, not a substitute for checking the full story.

MAKE ROOM FOR A DAILY HABIT
Read on iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad. Add a Home Screen widget and optionally enable daily reminders with a time and time zone of your choice. Reminder time is separate from the edition's publication time. If a connection is interrupted, revisit the last successfully saved text edition; cached content is not necessarily today's update. New editions, posters and original sources require an internet connection.

FREE READING. OPTIONAL AD REMOVAL.
No account is required. The app may show clearly labeled advertising. Optional monthly or annual auto-renewable subscriptions remove advertising from the iOS app, not the website. Your purchase screen displays local pricing and any eligible offer. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account.

Xiazi Says: Bold talk, never blind talk.
