2006/08 Reading list archive (Final)

This is the archive of the reading list on the side-bar. It is just a random collection of items I have read recently. It does not neccessarily have to represent my view (in fact, I may disagree with some of the POV), but I think they are interesting on their own. I do not think I am doing a linkfest, which I thought should have certain theme or professed value, it is simply a slightly organized (and slected) form of my de.licio.us.

There will be one archive per month, so I will be moving items from the side-bar into this post through this month, and create another post in September

China

Rest of Asia


World

Strategy

Misc

That Macartney article sucks, it's full of hidden chinese-are-evil messages. If she really wanted to know "whether our Tibetan hostess in her traditional long dress had ever eaten a Chinese breakfast or if the soybean milk maker in his white chef’s coat had ever tasted yak butter tea.", why could she have just asked the Han chef while she was eating there, or the Tibetan hostess after she ate? After all, she said it herself: "They live but a stone’s throw apart". If she wanted to expose whatever social-ethnic problem there was in Tibet, she could've just asked around and reported their answers in her article, instead of concluding in a tone which gives people the impression that there is huge social-ethnic problem in Tibet.

you got a pretty good point here. why didn't she ask a few question as she was there? it would be interesting to hear what she says.

I list her site because it is already quite a rarity in english medium, for not automatically subscibing to the Richard Gere / CCP dichotomy.

Here's one I'd recommend:

- On blogging in Chinese -

* Keso says blogspot-hosted blogs are now accessible in China.

* I suppose more and more readers can read both Chinese and English and readers would welcome a bilingual SB (it has been bilingual to some extent anyway).

* You must have found that for some topics Chinese is the preferred blog language. My recent post on HKEJ, if written in English, would have been quite pointless.

Kilgour's FLG report has since been discredited. Please check out the rebuttal from long time Chinese activist Harry Wu. Wu investigated FLG's allegation inside China and found it not credible, echoing US State department's investigation:

As you can see, the hospital FLG fingered is actually partly owned by a Malaysian healthcare company, and is subject to oversight beyond Chinese authority.

Malay officials have visited the alleged site in previous year; the place has been open to public for years.
