Shanghai Scrap

I’m traveling through the weekend, so there’s almost no chance that I’ll post before Monday. But fear not: there’s plenty of China blogging and news to be found elsewhere. Perhaps consider visiting Granite Studio’s Asian History Carnival, Pt. I and Pt. II [a/k/a, link-o-rama]; Jim Fallows’ really provocative Part 3 of his ongoing “We Are Ready!” [for the Olympics] series; China Daily’s really weird “30 Reasons to watch the Games” [my favorite: "Highest Number of Doping Tests" - what's next? the syringe cam?]; and my friend Mara Hvistendahl on Chinese gender gap issues in the New Republic.

See you next week for the Olympic stretch run …
