 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 Candlelight vigil for earthquake victims in Shanghai
It's a good thing they are also holding the vigil for victims of another natural disaster and one of China's staunchest allies...Myanmar.
Right?
A similar vigil was planned for a large square in the center of Beijing – see this thread on Tianya. When i went by last night at about 9pm, police and army personnel were not allowing people to enter the area surrounding the square. But marchers (in the hundreds) carrying flags and calling out "Jiayou Zhongguo" wandered the surrounding streets with a large police escort. Just heard they're back again this afternoon - but in larger numbers.
Hi Friends,
This song will bring Hope to the earthquake victims. I think this song is very appropriate for candlelight vigils. All money donated as a result of this song will go the Redcross for charitable causes.
Thanks
