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.

Comments on The Western media on China, the Olympics and Tibet
Wow, I can't believe the Quacking Canard Faction would post that. Oh wait, he didn't. Richard's snarking again and his subtle digs at the logic of the post escaped everyone.
Sir, are you okay? The links are totally screwed up. Peking Duck is snarkfesting pro-Chinese essayists, the Guardian link links to a London Times article on China's influence in Africa, and the Mercury link doesn't work.
Guardian link fixed, thanks. I had to reload the Mercury News link to get it to work, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.
