About BoxCantonese
BoxCantonese is a UK-based current affairs blog dedicated to making complex issues understandable, engaging and relevant. We bring together clear writing and careful research to provide context, nuance and practical insight—helping you see the bigger picture behind the day’s headlines.
From fast-moving stories to slow-burn trends, our goal is to leave you better informed about what matters and why, without jargon or unnecessary noise.
What we cover
We publish a mix of quick briefings and deeper reads across a broad range of themes, including:
- Politics and public policy
- Economy, business and work
- Science, technology and digital life
- Culture, media and society
- Environment, health and sustainability
- Rights, law and civic life
Our approach
We value accuracy, fairness and clarity. Articles are written in plain English, supported by credible sources, and clearly signposted when they contain analysis or opinion. When facts change, we update our coverage and note significant corrections. We aim to surface multiple perspectives while being transparent about what we know—and what we’re still investigating.
- Context-first explainers that cut through jargon
- Balanced analysis that avoids false equivalence
- Concise summaries with links for further reading
