More Jewish Chinese newsPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, March 9, 2007 12:37 PM
It's been a record month for Jewish-Chinese stuff in the Western media: The New York Times: Journey From a Chinese Orphanage to a Jewish Rite of Passage The Washington Post: Sold on a Stereotype The Jewish Press: How Xing Xing Became Devorah Leah So it seems timely to republish this Sexy Beijing video about the opening of a Jewish community center and mikvah bath in Beijing. Note that since the opening of the community centre, someone has opened a kosher restaurant in Ladies Street, Beijing. Note to Mr Hitler who left us such nice comments last time we talked about Jews, we know your IP address and have sent details of your whereabouts to the vengeful Elders (yes, we have a weekly phone call with them). |

Comments on More Jewish Chinese news
re: the washington post story - I used to edit a business magazine in China and one of our Chinese writers had the curious habit of always referring to the inhabitants of Wenzhou as "the Jews of China." Needless to say, this never made it into print.
semi related:
Beijing band FM3 will play a few shows in Israel in early April.
04.04 at Levontine7 in Tel Aviv (link)
an in-store gig at Uganda records in Jerusalem (link).
and some other shows for which i dont have info yet...
a few of the bands on Tag Team Records are also planning Israel gigs for 2007..
yes it is common to refer to the Wenzhou people as the jews of China. I've heard that very often. Quite funny indeed

How could you do this post without a link back to my post, entitled, China: Where Even The Jews Are Fake?
Go here for that: http://www.chinalawblog.com/chinalawblog/2007/02/china_where_eve.html.
My post contains no fewer than THREE Chinese-Jewish jokes, which I do believe is a record.
