Science and UFOsPosted by Joel Martinsen, December 16, 2005 4:32 PM
The Journal of UFO Research (飞碟探索) is China's (and apparently the world's) largest UFO journal. Published six times a year by the Gansu Science and Technology Press, it reports on UFO sightings across the globe and throughout history, as well as on a variety of other fringe and paranormal topics. Interesting in this issue is a heated response to the attacks various anti-pseudoscience crusaders have made against UFO proponents:
It would be more convincing if the same issue did not have an article claiming that a NASA moon base had been invaded by aliens. Also in this issue are a report on the Shenzhou space program, three UFO sightings reports, a look at ancient Egyptian civilization, and two SF stories, the 1992 classic Mousepad by Wu Yan and a more recent story called Time Stopped for Me by Yang Peng. The magazine is switching to a monthly format starting next year. The cover story for January's issue is "Do we want Darwin or Design?" It'll be interesting to see where they fall on that one... |

Books on China
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.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?
