Reactions to blogger self-discipline pledgePosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 28, 2007 7:46 PM
Danwei recently reported that the Internet Society of China is soliciting public opinions about its draft "Blog Service Self-discipline Public Pledge," which it wants blog service providers (BSP) within China's borders to sign on to, voluntarily. Here are a few responses on the Chinese Internet: The Southern Metropolis Daily (南方都市报) published an article titled Blog real name registration dropped, Internet regulation needs to be reexamined (link to copy of article on blog). Excerpt: ... the fact that the real name system could not be implemented on one hand is a people's victory for Internet service providers and netizens, and on the other hand it shows that China's Internet regulators are respecting the wishes of netizens. The Athere blog wrote a post titled Opinion about Real Name Blogs. His main conclusion: "It's still too early for a real name registration system for blogs in China".

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.

+ People: Chen Daming, director (2004.06): Chen's own life story could be rich material for a feature film. After being rusticated from the Henan Opera School, he was forced to move away from Kaifeng to look for work. The Film Academy is the most prestigious film school in China, counting the directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige among its alumni, and competition for place to study there is fierce. Chen Daming came to Beijing for an audition, and was accepted after three auditions. + Mo Luo: Turning enemies into people (2009.06): Mo Luo, an essayist and poet, writes about dehumanizing the enemy. + Skirting the law in China's private enterprise reform (2006.05): An essay by Wu Xiaobo (吴晓波), 'Reform Begins with Transgression' (改革从违法开始), about how early Chinese private enterprise dealt with a vague legal framework.
