Daily linklets March 8th

This is a daily collection of links, some with commentary, to news stories and interesting blog posts. It will be updated throughout the day with a new timestamp for the updates.

Scroll down for today's other posts.

  • First Asian central banks, now Columbians are losing faith in Alan Greenspan.
  • The NYT Magazine profiles Leung "Long Hair" Kwok-hung in a fawning article that pictures him as Hong Kong's Don Quixote. (via False Positives).
  • China's central bank doesn't think there is a "hot money" problem, thanks to its forex controls.
  • Mozilla is coming to China.
  • (9:47) China is enacting its anti-seccession law. The law will be a "domestic" one, reports the SCMP to allay fears in Hong Kong that it would be used to muzzle dissenting voices in the city. Which means Hong Kong can seccede but Taiwan can't. The best comment on the law goes to Johnny Lau Yui-sui of Hong Kong: "In the case of wars, laws are just 'wrappings'. Laws are usually put aside and it's the political situations that decide [whether to resort to force]."
  • (11:24) Bill from Dawn's Early Light and I have been emailing on US-China relations. Join in! Also thanks to Publius Pundit for the kind words. If blogging wasn't such an egotistical pursuit, I'd blush.
  • (16:25) BBC News gears up for it's China Week with a central site with lots of interesting links and background. For example an article looking at the intolerance to political dissent.
  • (19:01) The next edition of the New Blog Showcase Carnival is up at Fistful of Fortnights. Lots of good new blogs up there.
