I've never been able to understand why American newspapers can't get decent journalists covering China. Though I suspect sometimes that the problem is with the editors. Either way a recent joke of an article from the New York Times is a textbook example of how American papers can't seem to ...

Kevin Rudd is trying to seriously organize a pan-Asian free trade/security agreement (the word EU is bandied around quite a bit in the article), which would include such assorted groups as ASEAN, Japan, India, Indonesia, China, and... the US??? The organization look like it would be more focused on security ...

I just discovered that the little shop I go to right outside the Russian embassy for cheap vodka and Western food is also an illegal currency exchange shop. Now I'm not saying that I did anything illegal, but I will say that they give fairly good rates (7 to the ...

the China International Business: Portfolio website should be launching tomorrow. A subset of the magazine that will be first online, concentrating on breaking stock market news and analysis.

I was at the China International Capital Market Forum last Saturday, an about 75% very interesting conference, with many speakers who I've wanted to hear speak for a long time (I thought I liked Louis Kuijs, the head economist for the World Bank in Beijing, the best, but then I ...

While I'm usually quite favorable towards the Economist's editorial position on China, a "former China journalist" working on their Europe blog seems to have a bad sense of the nuances of 30,000 people dying.
If China had a free domestic press, and something approaching a political opposition, might this not be ...

Obama told workers in Pennsylvania on Monday that China had to respect trade rules ...

I was playing with a title for my Abacus article for next month, and remembering Bob Dylan's statement that he tries to have a song for every occasion thought to name it "High Water Rising." I picked the song out on my iPod and discovered.
