Daily linklets 16th June

ESWN sings the praises of mainstream media and laments the lack of Google justice. I say alls fair in love and search engines.
Being a dad and all, SF's got the comprehensive Father's Day gift guide for the dad with everything.
Malaysia is censoring the internet, too. Another potential Chinese export target.
On the flipside, a video clip of the Shengyou attack on a farmer has been widely distributed and resulted in the mayor and party secretary being sacked.
Contrasting various media reports of the Shalan flash flood which killed 200 school kids last Friday.
Wife-swapping in Guangdong. How do they know they're not fakes?
Jeremy asks: anti-semitism or idiocy at a Chinese magazine? He favours the latter, with some observations of being Jewish in China to boot.
The ultimate guide to blogging etiquette.
Philip Bowring wonders if Donald Tsang will lead Hong Kong or be Beijing's puppy? My money's on the latter.
Sesame Street becomes an alley you don't want to walk down.
An interesting take on agricultural subsidies and the poor.
The revival of Confucianism in China. At the same time China is expanding its Confucius Institutes across the world in response to demand for learning
Today's CCP would likely jail Mao.
Human rights, Hong Kong style.
Two of my favourite things: beer and women.
China could soon be hoovering up Hoover. The Chinese hegemony begins.
(13:53) Useful idiots on CCTV9. As the post asks, where do these people go for their next jobs?
Do NOT use toilet paper to blow your nose.
Gejiu - a model for China's AIDS fight.
The myth of India's liberalisation.
Thomas Barnett thinks China will become a world leader in pollution control and abatement within a generation and is desperately racing not against America, but itself in order to convert its "literate peasants" into an urban middle class. That's the problem with the "China threat" theory - China's got far too many domestic issues to deal with to worry too much about the rest of the world...with the always important exception of Taiwan.
