Bomb In JakartaPosted by Eric Mu, September 10, 2004 5:39 PM
 A photo of the bombed Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia is on the front pages of most newspapers in Beijing today. The attack killed nine people and wounded at least 156 people, of whom there were at least four Chinese citizens, according to witnesses and officials. Other hot news: Amendments to the construction plan for the Beijing Olympics will be completed this year; the money saved by the revised plan will be used to remodel run-down areas of the city. Today is also the 20th Teachers Day in China. Most newspapers published special reports and interviews with "people's teachers". The pictured front page is from the Beijing Morning Post |

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.
