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 Zhang Lijia: Socialism is Great!
社会主义好？？？ 看来又多了一个大唱赞歌的所谓JY。希望单位把你们的注意力多投放在草根阶层，而不是“王小峰”、“木子美”、“洪晃”等JY身上。
支持“苏菲”！！！

支持峰.支持苏菲.这个记者无论从发式还是白色上装,都让我想起PRISONBREAK中的Haywire.
哈哈, Haywire. 没错，是有点像。
too much chest-exposure, Jeremy.
don't forget: you're South African, not European.
Great book. Couldn't put it down. It takes great courage (and a thick face) to share your very personal experiences with the world. Thank you! Thank you!
One big disappointment, though: the book ended far too early. Obviously much happened after your police interrogation in the summer of '89. Obviously you escaped your smotherland. Congratulations for that! But it's also great to have you back, to provoke change, I'm sure.
There are many things that still need to change. The list is long and ugly. But your book gives us hope.
Thank you.
