China Daily: Hu Jia sentenced to 3.5 years in jailPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, April 3, 2008 12:29 PM
The China Daily published a Xinhua report today: Hu Jia sentenced to 3.5 years in jail The news has also been covered, in a somewhat different way, by Chris Buckley of Reuters, by John Kennedy at Global Voices, and by Simon Elegant at the Time blog, and soon in the magazine after the traditional media gears grind their way to it. Interestingly, the Xinhua report that ran in the China Daily was published on Xinhua's English website this morning, but has since been deleted. Hu Jia is not a name that will be easy for China's Net Nanny to harmonize off the Internet: the activist Hu Jia uses the exact same characters as the diving champion and Olympic gold hopeful of the Games: 胡佳. |

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?

Comments on China Daily: Hu Jia sentenced to 3.5 years in jail
"one year deprivation of political rights"
What political rights did Hu Jia have in the first place?
Hey, at least he wasn't killed by his father like in Saudi Arabia. How about some perspective here?
;-)
very good Jim. In my opinion, Jeremy rarely drops the ball on this site,which I guess is why we all keep logging on for more, but he did with that daft saudi post. perspective indeed
any chance the court will credit Hu Jia's ~7 months of house arrest and 3 months of pre-trial detention towards the 3.5-year sentence?
