China Blog competitions: Win RMB 10,000Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, June 21, 2006 8:13 PM
There are currently two competitions for best China blogs in English: 1. Best China Blogs 2. The China Blog section of the Asian Blog Awards. Danwei probably does not count as a blog any more: there are too many contributors, and we are trying very hard indeed to sell out, by accepting advertising. If you are interested in this type of award, please vote for another website. There are some old recommendations here: Model Worker awards: the best China blogs 2005. This list wil be updated soon. |

 Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.
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 China Blog competitions: Win RMB 10,000
A strange list it was last year, containing as it did a couple of blogs apparently written by non-Chinese speaking English teachers married to each other, commenting on China.
One hopes for better things this time around.
Brings up an interesting argument - does a "China Blog" have to be about China? Or about Chinese? Or can it just be written in China? Meh.
