Earthquake updatesPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 14, 2008 8:15 AM
 • This BBC story has comprehensive coverage of the latest information coming from the earthquake affected areas in Sichuan. • A team from America's National Public Radio happened to be in Chengdu when the quake occurred, and they are keeping a blog here. You can also listen to a radio segment called Producer Andrea Hsu on a changed reporting trip. It includes recordings of a rather cool and collected Melissa Block who was conducting an interview in a church when the earthquake struck, and other reportage from the immediate aftermath of the Sichuan quake. • Shanghaiist is keeping tabs on most English and some Chinese language sources of information on this page. They have also published a guide to donating money to the Chinese Red Cross for relief for the victims, and a list of dates and places where people in Shanghai can give blood for use in Sichuan. The Bookworm English bookstores in Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu are also collecting donations of cash, clothing, tents and emergency blankets; take your donations there on or before this Saturday. • ESWN has a massive gallery of of photos of the after effects and victims of the quake. |

 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?

If anyone has date/time/place for donating blood in Beijing or Guangzhou, please share. Thanks.
AjS
Please. Respect the deceased. Don't post the pictures of their bodies when they are not covered.
为吾国吾民默哀......
Adam, they're asking for blood donations only in the affected areas, and requesting funds from everywhere else.
Okay, I was wrong. They are asking for blood donation elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find the addresses of the Red Cross DP centers in PEK and GUZ because I can't get on the Ch Red Cross site. I'm sorry. May be best to ask someone there to look them up in a directory.
