  • Proposal to resolve the economic losses brought to fruit farmers by birds
  • Proposal to change the name of Beijing Subway's Yong'anli Station to Silk Street Station as soon as possible
  • Recommendation for a complete ban on dog raising
  • Proposal to strengthen Beijing's municipal manhole-cover design

LoveChinaLongTime, you just insulted goon squads.

The Beijing Subway is dominated by this officialesque landscape in the Jing -- there is no way they'll change Yong'anli to the commercialesque Silk Street.

Women-only cars are good, though.

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.
