I have returned from China, freshly jet-lagged and also — congratulations, stalkers, here’s your newest piece of personal information to twist — engaged. Yes! Anyway, there will be more substantive posts later, obviously, but as I shake off the throes of jet lag and prepare to plunge into what promises to be a much...

I will be taking a 2 week hiatus, from today through March 22nd. Oddly enough, the reason is that I’m headed to China, but it’s for pleasure, not business, and I won’t have a lot of internet access. I may, on occasion, drop by the internet cafe to write a post, but I make...

Frequent readers of this site (or ChinaSMACK or CNReviews) may be aware that I am slowly attempting to take over the planet via writing on China blogs.

It seems like it hasn’t been that long since our 100th post, but here we are. This may be a rather long post, as I’ve been saving up a lot of nuts-and-bolts type stuff for this post rather than clogging up content posts with it, but please do take the time to read it....

As you likely know, it’s very rare that we dedicate an entire post to linking something on another site. The reason for this is not that we consider our site better than anyone else’s, it’s just that we’re trying to make sure this site is primarily a source of original reading material for you....

Perhaps it was just a matter of time. We’re receiving unconfirmed reports that the site is inaccessible in China without a proxy. Can anyone confirm or, as they say, disconfirm this? We hope it’s not true, but fear that it is. UPDATE: Well, it sounds as though we’ve been GFW’ed. At least we’re in...
