2024: Getting More US Students to China in 'Responsible Exchanges' vs a Numbers Game?
What about US Secretary of State Blinken’s call for an increase in responsible exchanges between the US and China? As opposed to irresponsible exchanges? Exchanges that are not well thought out or just a numbers game?
In the ancient past — the Obama Era there was talk of getting 100,000 US students studying in China as a complement to the 300,000 PRC students ‘Studying in America‘. That didn’t…

2024: Xinhua Explains New and Quality Productivity aka New Quality Productive Forces 新质生产力
Xinhua last week explained how the latest Secretary Xi buzzword often translation as ‘new productive forces’ should be understood.
I wonder if the term ‘new productive forces’ arise from an ambiguity in Chinese that, as the Xinhua article suggests, befuddles many Chinese people. 新质生产力 could be translated as either new and quality productivity or a new kind of productive force. 新质 xīn zhì novel…

2011: Excerpt from Geling Yan's "The Criminal Lu Yanshi"
Where does history end and literature begin? That is the question I often have about contemporary Chinese literature.
Today this question came up again as I read the brief excerpt (which I translated below, further down below that I expected when I started writing this!) from Geling Yan’s 2011 book 《陆犯焉识》[ The Criminal Lu Yanshi].
Whatever one might say about China’s turbulent twentieth century…

1939: Comintern Wanted to Bone Up on Mao, So Asked 'Big Brother'
‘Big Brother’ came through for the Communist International in Moscow when they wanted to learn more about Mao Zedong.
A 2009 China News Service [Zhongguo Xinwenshe] the other PRC press service aimed at Chinese leaving outside of the PRC. Their articles tend to be a bit less heavy on propaganda and a bit straighter than Xinhua, probably because they are aimed at a foreign Chinese-speaking…

Scenes from Russia's Difficult Conquest of West Siberia
Quite a story. I found this article by University of Tartu Professor Art Leete mentioned by Kullamäe Jürgen in the context of a story related at the conclusion of the article of a supposed declaration of war against China.
I followed his link to Professor Leete’s Estonian-language article that supposedly downplays the ancient bloodthirstiness of the lately-placid Khanty people. Legends do…

2024: Peter Hessler's "How Chinese Students Experience America"
Especially interesting were the perspectives of students from non-elite Chinese universities on both China and the USA. Especially these days, one of the best places to learn about China is in the USA.
Observations on the growth of Chinese institutions like the basketball league among the Chinese students is intriguing. Loneliness and homesickness in a strange culture is likely the same as…

2022: The Rebound in PRC Interprovincial Trade Barriers
I recently came across a 2022 article on Chinese domestic trade barriers that found that interprovincial trade barriers declined after 1997 as China prepared for WTO entry but then rebounded considerably after 2007.
分久必合，合久必分 — from The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 三国演义 — [The Empire or the World as understood in the Chinese cultural sphere in those days — tianxia] long divided must united,…

2024: Who is China Rooting for, Trump or Biden?
While the PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives the predictable diplomatic answer, that question depends upon the US and not the PRC, just who China is rooting for has many answers. China has a lot of people and what say the core leadership of the Party, Secretary Xi, and what a ministry more powerful than MOFA, say the Ministry of State Security may believe, or how truly freelance Red Hackers…

2018: Japanese blog on Buddhism and Temple Visits
As I brush up on my Japanese I came across these blog entries from the Yasuda Prayer Bead Shop [Japanese language page 安田念珠店] written a few years ago. I used DeepL to do a translation, fiddled and corrected it very slightly and replaced Japanese URL links with English ones — sometimes running a Japanese link through Google Translate.
You may want to skip my boring commentary below and skip…

Spring and Autumn Period: Duke Ping of Jin Tales
Reading Mencius with some friends I came across a mention of Duke Ping of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period 2500 years or so ago.
Mencius replied, ‘Friendship should be maintained without any presumption on the ground of one’s superior age, or station, or the circumstances of his relatives. Friendship with a man is friendship with his virtue, and does not admit of assumptions…
