 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?

'Chinese subtitles' in Chinese should read '中文字幕' instead ...

A very interesting article.

I can't find the source, but I recall a story that when the early Jesuits arrived in China in the 16th century, they heard about Hebrew writings from the old Song-era communities in Kaifeng and were just beside themselves...they were convinced that they'd finally found THE lost tribe.
Another great video. Keep up the good work.
Wow, the lady speaks Mandarin really well except that the word "Ai Ren" she used to refer to that Chinese lady's husband sounds a little 80's fashion. The English speakers must feel the same way when I say "How do you do" as a greeting expression xD
I never would have imagined Jewish-Chinese cultural fusion like we saw in the bath house design. Could you show us more about the Jewish community in China (check the pre-war Jewish community in Shanghai)? I would be fascinated to see some ethnically Chinese practicing Jews.
That was wonderful. Another Su Fei triumph!
Speaking of Jews in China, I'm in the preliminary stages of a story about the only Chinese shabbos goy in Shenzhen. He turns the lights on and off etc on Sabbath for the only Lubivitcher Rebbe in SZ.
