Digest RSS feed for Danwei

Posted by Joel Martinsen, May 6, 2008 3:01 PM

We've heard murmurings among our readership about information overload: Danwei, they say, is updating too frequently.

Recognizing that not everyone is chained to a computer 24/7, we've whipped up a new RSS feed that provides a daily digest of Danwei posts in a single, convenient article. It's updated every day at 19:30, Beijing time. Subscribe via Feedsky, for mainland readers, or Feedburner, for the rest of you.

Classic Danwei posts

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas.

+ Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet.

+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
