Modern Chinese Anarchism? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I found https://lausancollective.com/ (HK-based) and https://chuangcn.org/ which both seem to be quite libertarian, writing from the perspective of the Sinosphere. I'm really interested in exploring more contemporary Chinese Anarchist circles though. Anyone that knows anything? I'm able to read in Chinese (or at least work myself through texts) so Chinese sources are also welcome. I just find it hard to find online sources for this, I guess it's all quite a bit underground still and not really organized to a large degree taking the the oppressive state of the mainland into account.

Things I mostly found on reddit:

anarchist library in chinese lanuage. i hope its not just translations but maybe also original texts?
there seem to be / have been 2 chapters of food not bombs in China, based on this map here https://foodnotbombs.net/info/locations/
copy from a 4 year old reddit comment that seemed to contain some interesting breadcrumbs that might lead you to more uptodate information:

Yes. But there's not much publicly available. Just a food not bombs and I think a social space in Guangzhou. I think there is likely a larger underground of squats that are not really easy to find out about.

The Wuhan punks had a small bookstore/gathering space that was shut down in 2016 due to non-payment of rent.
