Think of a protean struggle between the desire of the largest group of internet users on Earth to read and write as they please and the desire of a Leninist power vertical with the equivalent population of Germany to channel the conversation in ways helpful or harmless to itself.
My latest over at the National. Points to some interesting books.
Ordered Han Han's book.
jamie, your site doesn't appear to have a search facility. I'm trying to recover your coverage of the Bo Xilai scandal, right back if faceble to Wang's dive for the US Consulate, but so far all I've been able to do is wade very slowly through your entire coverage.
Any tips on what I can do? (PS I am not very hi tech!)

I had a couple of articles about Bo up at New Left Project last year. You can get them via this page: http://www.newleftproject.org/index.php/site/categories/C36
