By design, I&#8217;ll have sporadic access to email, so if you contact me please understand if I don&#8217;t get back to you right away. But I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In truth, there are only a couple of things I know for sure about China. One, if you&#8217;re in a big city, you&#8217;re never more than two blocks from a great meal; two, the stop lights are voluntary; and three, Titanic is huge. Thus, it came as no surprise to anyone here that &#8211; over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several months ago I had the opportunity to travel to the notorious southern Chinese e-waste recycling hub of Guiyu. It was an interesting visit during which it became apparent that many assumptions currently held about e-waste processing in China are no longer current. Of these, perhaps the most important is the blanket assumption that foreign [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday China Daily reported that 17,000 violent incidents took place in Chinese hospital in 2010, affecting roughly 70 percent of all public hospitals in China. What&#8217;s a &#8220;violent incident?&#8221; By and large, it&#8217;s an act of aggression by a patient, or a patient&#8217;s family, against a medical practitioner. This week I take a deeper look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, I posted a few thoughts on This American Life&#8217;s [TAL] retraction of its episode devoted to Mike Daisey&#8217;s The Agony &#38; The Ecstasy of State Jobs. The full post is available here. In it, I point out that Daisey and his partisans have, in part, built a defense based upon citing The New York Times&#8217; [...]]]></description>

Back in February, regular readers of this blog may recall, I appeared with Daisey (and two other guests) on To The Point with Warren Olney (downloadable here). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bear bile. Before last week, I don&#8217;t think that I&#8217;d ever had a conversation about the substance &#8211; much less written about it. But that was before I heard about Guizhentang, a Chinese pharmaceutical firm that extracts the substance from the gall bladders of 470 bears that it keeps at its Fujian farm. The extraction process [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Valentine&#8217;s Day the washed-up American boxer Floyd Mayweather logged into twitter to announce: &#8220;Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he&#8217;s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don&#8217;t get the same praise.&#8221; To put it lightly, the tweet was not received well by US commentators, [...]]]></description>
