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.

Comments on Baidu porn, Part II
I just got similar results by typing the term "磨豆腐" while searching Baidu images for President Hu Jintao. (Navigate to the 12th set of 磨豆腐 results if you are over the age of 18.)
Good post. More people in the West should know this. China's anti-porn campaign in the internet is not (entirely) political, but is indeed (significantly) anti-porn. It's funny to see how most western reports emphasized the (possible) political component of the campaign, while ignore the (obvious) anti-porn component almost alltogether.

Oh, that's just nasty.
It's just google takes out porn images, while baidu didn't care. (even search "porn" in google image don't yield naked pictures) Given how supposedly porn is >50% of the entire internet, I not surprised if porn come on every single search item at least once.
Google gives you the option to filter your searches - SafeSearch Off, On, or Moderate (options vary depending on your language and interface). Baidu doesn't do that because, like the film industry, it's supposed to be suitable for the entire population of China, both young and old. Film (电影), by the way, returns some pretty racy "body art" photos.

SHANGHAI - CHINESE Internet users angered by censorship in cyberspace have dressed up images of famous renaissance nudes in a protest against Beijing's crackdown on 'vulgar' online content.
