Danwei does not have a blogroll for two reasons. Firstly everything you see on the screen should be on topic. Secondly there are many people out there who are not regular visitors to the blogosphere and I don't want to confuse them with too many links. My theory of usability is that my mother should be able to figure it out in less than a minute and I know a blogroll would confuse her.

Glossary for non-bloggers
Blogroll: list of links to other weblog sites / blogs
Blogosphere: all websites, weblogs and blogging related content on the Internet

However, I will link to other blogs where relevant. Here is a roundup of China-related blogs that I like. This will be updated from time to time, so please send me links. I am especially looking for good Chinese language blogs.

DAILY READS

The below are excellent sources of China-related links, news and commentary about China.

Peking Duck
Covering China, Asia and American foreign policy, Richard of Peking Duck closely tracks foreign news coverage of China, especially where it concerns corruption and malfeasance.

PRC News and Brainysmurf
Maintained by Tianjin-based teacher Adam Morris, PRC News follows current events and news coverage of China in the foreign press, matching it with local observations. Brainysmurf is more personal and covers language and cultural issues, the blogger's life, and Chinese miscellanea. Adam is also a major contributor to Living in China, a new group blog that is off to a promising start. Peking Duck also contributes to Living in China.

Gweilo Diaries
Asian politics, Asian babes.
