Chinese bloggers conference 2008 November 15 - 16Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 5, 2008 9:10 AM
The fourth annual CNBloggerCon takes place in Guanznghou on the weekend of November 15 to 16. CNBloggerCon is organized by a diverse collective of bloggers, techies, Internet entrepreneurs, digital activists, teachers. The conference has always been about encouraging grass roots participation. Your correspondent attended the second and third conferences, and both were great opportunities to meet Chinese Internet people from all over the country in an informal, even slightly anarchic atmosphere that brings out the best of the Chinese blogger and tech communities. If you want to attend, you can register on the conference website (Chinese). The website also contains an English schedule of speakers and events; Micah Sittig has translated the practical information about the conference venue and accommodation etc. into English here. Journalist from a foreign media organization are more than welcome to attend. There are no free media passes because CNBloggerCon is a grass roots (i.e. underfunded) organization but tickets cost only 100 yuan if you register and pay online and 150 yuan if you pay at the conference. Danwei.org is helping CNBloggerCon to connect with foreign media, so journalists may also register by sending an email to me: jeremy -at- danwei.org. |

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?
