The September issue of That’s Beijing is out now. Click here to download a copy for desktop or tablet.

Gangs, groupings, tribes… they’re everywhere in this issue. Our cover story looks at some of the more offbeat ‘gangs’ of Beijing. Well-behaved football hooligans, misunderstood cosplayers, anti-imperialist dancing grannies and some benign Backstreet Boys fans.

We also meet with Beijing’s emergent gay Russian community, free from the discrimination of their homeland; we explore the state of modern Chinese feminism; the founders of Chinese indie label Maybe Mars recount seven successful years; and we visit quite possibly the strangest chuanr restaurant in all of Beijing.

There’s also a full run down of the month’s best parties, deals and events – including at Beijing’s newest food truck, a first birthday party for Parnas and the Sonic Music Festival.

Lastly, we’re hiring in positions all over China. Click here to see all our current vacancies.
