Mattel sues China — not the countryPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, August 22, 2007 11:14 AM
![]() China Barbie
Mattel are only seeking $100,000 in damages and that the court order that any profits Global China Networks achieved be given to Mattel. So by their own calculations, China Barbie has not damaged the toy giant as much as China sub standard lead paint contractor (which will apparently lose them $30 million), for which Mattel chief executive Bob Eckert is apologizing profusely, Youtube style.

Jasper Becker's City of Heavenly Tranquility: Many foreigners who lived in old Beijing and succumbed to its charms became more Chinese than the Chinese, preferring a fantasy China to the real one. Danwei publishes an extract from Jasper Becker's new book on Beijing: City of Heavenly Tranquility (Penguin and OUP) describing an enduring phenomenon.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Migrant worker blues: Who cares? by Bruce Humes (2006.09): Bruce Humes reviews two recent books about migrants in China: 'I Shall Shed No Tears' (我的眼泪不会掉下来) by Wang Lili and 'La Promesse de Shanghai' by Stephane Fiere. + SARFT uncovers a poisoned apple (2007.03): Chang Ping (长平) on SARFT's criticism of Lost in Beijing (苹果 aka Apple), Still Life (三峡好人), and Thirteen Princess Trees (十三棵泡桐). + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices.
