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 Major League Baseball in China
I've seen Mr. Widmer's work at festivals and on home DVD, and now online! A passionate filmmaker with a unique eye - great subject, great work!
"I've only been to Chinatown in San Francisco and New York...This is like a huge Chinatown that just never stops!"
Probably the funniest quote by a Westerner in China that I've ever heard. This baseball guys are such buffoons!
This was a great piece about the growing excitement of baseball in China. It was beautifully filmed and edited and really showed a side of China that one rarely sees. I am really excited for MLB and for the children of China. This is a great first step to bring baseball to Asia.
MLB wants a piece of the pie.
FANTASTIC...in just a few minutes of watching, you can really get the feeling of energy and intensity of these young players. So well filmed and edited. I love this.

"This is a great first step to bring baseball to Asia."
This is ridiculous! The Japanese have been playing baseball for a long time, and it is one of the most popular sports in the country.
