Blogs about China

Postby paglino9 » September 14th, 2009 3:16 am

One of my all-time favorite bloggers about all aspects of life in China is James Fallows.

He currently writes for the Atlantic Magazine. He recently had a compilation of his writings while living in China published into a book "Postcards from Tomorrow Square".

You can check out his blog at http://jamesfallows.theatlantic.com/

I'm interested about any other quality bloggers writing about China. Share your links.

Gotta agree with the comment about Fallows - even before he went to China he was one of my favorite political analysts. Here are a few other China blogs that I read regularly:

@Kashby

I scoped out the blog links you posted. Pretty interesting stuff, and they also cover a wide variety of topics. I especially enjoyed the post on Matt's blog about topless woman in Qingdao Beach. I had a good laugh considering I was in Shandong last weekend.

I come from a business background so I thought the Silicon Hutong had some great material not really covered in depth and with clarity in the likes of NYT or The Economist. Thanks for the links.

CN Reviews did a post entitled "Directory of Women English-Language China Bloggers" if you're looking for the female voice on China in English.

They also did a post, "10 Eclectic China Blogs You Should Follow"
http://cnreviews.com/people/bloggers/interesting-china-blogroll_20090421.html

Anyway, lots of great blogs listed there.

For learning Chinese blogs, Doubting ToShuo.com, writes a decent one out of Taiwan. John Pasden's blog is also good.

Ben Ross writes a great blog on China.

His most recent post is very relevant to Chinese learners.
