BQ: the new IPR friendly Beijing Youth WeeklyPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, January 17, 2005 11:25 AM
 After listing on Hong Kong's stock exchange last month, Beijing Media Corp. is cleaning up its act. The company's tabloid Beijing Youth Weekly comes in two sections each week. They used to be called 'Hello' and 'OK!' in English, in imitation of the popular tabloid mags sold in the US, UK and other markets. The new version's Chinese name remains Beijing Qingnian Zhoukan (Beijing Youth Weekly), but the English names on both sections are now 'BQ'. The pictured cover features actress Li Xiang. You can see the old Hello and OK! covers on Danwei.org here. |

 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.
