As you can see from the time between this post and the last – 5+ weeks – I have not been posting very much. For a variety of reasons I have been quiet. While there has been much to write about on the China front, I just have not had the time to contribute to the discussion. I did happen to see Obama’s Shanghai ‘Town Hall Meeting’ which I found to be maddeningly disappointing. Great dodge on the Taiwan weapons issue, Mr Prez. It felt more like a highly hyped English corner than a town hall meeting. Adam Minter at Shanghai Scrap and Jeremiah at Jottings from the Granite Studio pretty much covered how I felt about the event.
That said, I’m going to be taking a break from blogging. I do not plan to stop, though for the near future I am far too busy with other projects to give the blog the time and thought it needs. If I am included in your blogroll you may want to take note.
So, until I’m back behind the blog wheel, peace and non-censorshiply yours,
–jg
