I was intrigued by Emily’s observation a couple of weeks back that The New Yorker has been covering China so assiduously in recent months.
That got my devious little mind into gear. I looked into it, and she sure isn’t making it up. There have been a bunch of articles covering China since the start of the year, and the good news is, most of them are available online.
With only about three weeks until the start of the Beijing Olympics, we provide a handy list. (I’ll update this periodically.)
