The author discusses Wang Xiubing's “Some issues I have encountered in my path to becoming a psychoanalyst”. He applauds her achievement and that of her colleagues in coming into their own as analysts and analytic therapists, and discusses elements of controversy she discussed: distance analysis and differences in culture. He points out that analysis takes place neither in the office nor online, but between two persons and two minds, and most importantly in the mind of the analysand. He concludes that Chinese psychoanalysis is likely to have unique features, just as analysis has in each different locality in the past.
