Covering China for 29 Years

Posted January 6th, 2008 by Josh

Newsweek has a double issue out all about China in 2008. Most fascinating of the bunch is definitely Melinda Liu’s piece about covering China on and off since 1979. She cloaks it as the story of her brother who was born and raised in China (she is from the US), but it is really more [...]

Posted December 21st, 2007 by Josh

Cup of Cha will continue during my vacation under new management. My friend Leslie who is living in Angola always talks about how many Chinese are down there working. So I’ve turned the reigns over to her for the next few weeks. It should be interesting to hear what is going on over in [...]

It’s a Blog!!

Posted October 27th, 2007 by Josh

I hadn’t planned on writing much here until mid-November, but since the blog is 80% done and my friend Graham told me “the site would look a lot better if you wrote something” I decided to take his good advice.
A little background for those of you who don’t know me: I started out as the [...]
