At long last (has it only been a few months? feels like ages...) Danwei.com is back! For those of you unversed in China blogs, Danwei started way back in 2003 (medieval in internet years) and tops the list for Chinese media coverage, commentary, and saviness in general. The new Danwei is making some substantial changes to their format, dropping the daily news updates for a more in-depth "web magazine" approach. From Danwei: "We’re relaunching on Danwei.com. We will publish periodic issues based around a theme, rather than daily news updates. We are currently looking for quality writing, photography and video, and we’re going to pay contributors for their work. We’ll devote time to editing, and producing or commissioning original video art work." And don't worry, their archives are still available over at Danwei.org (blocked inside the firewall, mirror site here.) more ›

We're always on the lookout for lists of blogs to read and this site has done us the favor of aggregating 50 of the best blogs about China. We're on it (of course), but so are some of our perennial favorites (ChinaSMACK, Imagethief, Far West China), as well as a couple we hadn't heard of but mean to add to our own RSS feeds (China Movie Database Blog... what?!). Check it out. more ›

Since nobody's had the brilliant idea to set up a Xinjiangist yet, we rely on various blogs getting blocked on and off to learn what's going on about the region. If you already have Far West China and Opposite End of China (possibly taken down?) already on your blogroll, consider adding this one too: The New Dominion. more ›

Interested in learning about the man behind one of our favorite websites on China issues, Danwei? The Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club is bringing us the man responsible, Jeremy Goldkorn, to give a talk tomorrow on the internet in China. He will discuss his own experiences in the blogosphere, as well as topics ranging from the media industry and regulation and the impact of the net on China's society and people. more ›
