 At the 2nd Plenary, after the discussion Recession? Forget about it! Danwei's Third Plenary Session is a panel discussion about creative business in China on January 13 from 7-10pm at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business just near Wangfujing in Beijing. Our topics: How to make real money doing creative work, how to turn yourself from a slacker into a respectable business person, and how to turn skills in music, culture, design, technology and writing into a fun and profitable career. The speakers are three old hands in both creative and business communities in China, excellent public speakers and not afraid of answering difficult questions. None of them will bore you with a PowerPoint presentation. They are: Dominic Johnson-Hill, founder and of Plastered T-shirts and winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year section of the British Business Awards; Richard Robinson, serial tech entrepreneur, founder of mobile gaming company Kooky Panda and of Chopschticks, which organizes stand up comedy shows across Asia; Kaiser Kuo, rock star, tech startup veteran and Group Director for Digital Strategy of Ogilvy China The discussion will be moderated by your correspondent, Jeremy Goldkorn. The event is free, including snacks and drinks, all you have to do is register by emailing Jonathan Tang at jonathantang@ckgsb.edu.cn. This event brought to you by Danwei and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business with support from City Weekend. At the 2nd Plenary, after the discussion Recession? Forget about it!

 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?
