Asia by blog

Linking you with the links that matter in Asia:

Hong Kong, Taiwan and China

  • ALN reports that doing good deeds in China sometimes has a price.
  • Chris looks at the problems with Hong Kong's list system of voting.
  • Giles and Chris both have plenty to say about Hong Kong TV. I fully agree with what Chris said.
  • Stephen summarises the recent history and current suppression of China's Uygur population.
  • Jeremy says China's papers are celebrating Deng Xiaoping's 100th birthday (being dead doesn't matter) and Beijing now has a 3 colour alert of its own. But it's not about terrorism. Jeremy also has a new slogan for Newsweek: Be the last to know.
  • At LiC Edward Hugh says the China economic slowdown has begun; the question is how will it end?
  • Madame Shutterfly has some of the photos of China taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson, who passed away last week.

Korea and Japan

  • Antti says the conference in North Korean that was going to happen actually did happen. It turns out only certain invitees were cancelled.
  • Jodi, who runs one hell of an interesting blog, talks about some forgotten survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. She also explains why it's not good to be a dog when it gets hot.

SE Asia

  • Following North Korea's example, Richard looks at the newest dynasty handover in Asia: Singapore.
  • Giles has found an alternative to the traditional wedding cake in the Philippines. Conrad finds a Pinoy girl who refuses his advances because she's got better things to do.
  • Jodi follows the aftermath of Malaysia's PM remarks on religious tolerance and how it took less than a week for tolerance to give way to warring again.
  • Macam-Macam says Megawati is enjoying what may be the last few weeks of her Presidency in style.

Miscellany

  • Tony conducts an interesting experiment in racism.
