China Newsweek goes to JapanPosted by Joel Martinsen, August 2, 2007 4:20 PM
China Newsweek a news weekly published by the China News Service, China's second-largest news agency. The magazine began publication in late 1999. In May, the agency launched a Japanese edition called Monthy China News (月刊中国NEWS, according to the nameplate); its Japanese publication partner is the Japan China News Agency Ltd. (日中通信社), publisher of a line of Chinese instructional materials and Japanese translations of Chinese literature. The formal launch issue, which featured a smiling baby on the cover, came out in July and sold about 42,000 copies. The magazine is geared at educating Japanese readers about China. According to a report in the China Press and Publishing Journal:
The September issue shown above features a cover photo of a panda clutching a block of ice to illustrate a story on China's efforts to fight global warming. The issue also contains a profile of Cheng Bushi, designer of the giant Y-10 aircraft, and an introduction to kunqu. In contrast, the original China Newsweek is all news: the cover story this week concerns citizen journalism, and the magazine also covers the cardboard baozi case and the delay in reporting the "green GDP."

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.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Private argot in the public sphere (2007.04): YWeekend (青年周末) comments on slang in subtitles. Wu Fei (吴非) writes about gang language and cultural revolution slang. + Why we aren't building a "harmonious Danwei" (2005.09): Liu Hongbo (刘洪波) looks back at the village feuds of his youth and suggests that a 'harmonious society' is not something that local governments can necessarily construct. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
