Books on China
 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Comments on Olympic Danwei
I like the redesign. Looks good.
good to have you, danwei
Hi Jeremy
Just read the profile article about you in Southern Weekend. Was profoundly moved when I read the passage where you say you're ashamed about your "lack of accomplishments". I think you judge yourself too harshly, Jeremy. I've been following Danwei for some three years - and its become part of my ritual of starting up my day. I'd say that if the only thing I ever achieved in life was to start up Danwei and make it what it is, I'd be pretty proud of myself. I doff my (hard) hat in salute, old boy!
"crooked nose" though, what was that all about?
Agreed. Very entertaining website. I didn't even notice you guys changed the design. Keep up the good work? But I'sure you don't need me telling you that :).
