The return of Mr ChinaPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, August 17, 2007 1:32 PM
 Jack's back The 'Mr China' of the title is a larger than life investment banker who first came here in 1992, was smitten, and then employed Clissold to help him lose a lot of money. Now several years after the publication of the book, Mr China is back, and apparently making boatloads of money. He also has a blog: Managing the Dragon. Written with several other contributors, it's off to a promising start, with formally written articles about a range of themes relating to business in 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 The return of Mr China
After ten bloody years here, I've finally figured out how to "make it" in China!
Write a book about "making it" in China!! (kicking myself in the head for all those prime years down the tubes)...
Referencing the second post on that weblog, how's the sky in Beijing today? Isn't it the first day of the car-ban? We've been having absolutely gorgeous blue skies with fluffy white clouds in Shanghai for the past few days.
If you look straight up you can see blue sky today. At least it's better than yesterday, which was a return to choking haze. Beijing's meterological magicians are only good for one week of good weather, it appears. Hope they manage to lengthen that by next year.
Look forward to reading it.
"Managing the Dragon" Ha ha ha ha ha!
Really? People enjoyed Mr. China? Gah, I thought it was the worst "I've been to the big dragon and I've survived" books out there.
