Last of the Mohicans or Sue Anne Tay’s “Shanghai’s Street Stories?”
(credit: Sue Anne Tay)
It’s not often one stumbles – yes, stumbles — across a shooter who possesses not only a meticulous eye for the ever-changing external world, but who can also cop to a knack for weaving sentences together into eloquent “word pictures.” I present Sue Anne Tay – my lordie, she is indeed that kind of photographer, ladies and gentlemen.
Her Sue Anne-ness ships her art regularly at a piece of online real estate called Shanghai Street Stories, a site we’ve kvelled about previously here and here. I strongly encourage you to head on over there for a burrow around before forging ahead with this post. Go on and get a feel for Sue Anne’s 31 Flavors before you come back. And take your time.
Would You Declare War Over Chocolate? Hell Yeah, Some Would!
I’m happy I listen to people when they strongly suggest titles to read. In the case of Lawrence L. Allen’s Chocolate Fortunes: The Battle for the Hearts, Minds, and Wallets of China’s Consumers, this was a particularly sweet suggestion and many thanks to Dan Harris of Harris & Moure Law, the perennial award-winning blogmeister and commentator at China Law Blog, or as we Generation Xers like to call it, CLB.

FLASH: Google Is Still Advertising In Shanghai’s Metro
For those of you who thought Google’s exit from China meant that the search engine juggernaut was pulling up all stakes…you might want to take a look at this as proof to the contrary (courtesy: Joop.in).
Google? China Don’t Need It Because It’s Got GooJJe!
Another cute little Shanghaiist piece about Chinese upstart Goojje, more of a performance art piece than a serious rival to the outgoing search engine monster for the PRC.
Is China Better Off Without Google.cn? No, Says @neokai…
Elliott Ng’s amazing CN Reviews features an excellent stepwise breakdown by the sage Kai Pan on why Google’s announced exit from China due to the alleged Gmail account breaches by Chinese intelligence services and in opposition the the PRC’s insistence on it censoring its search results is decidedly a bad thing for overall Chinese freedom. Like Kai writes eloquently towards the piece’s conclusion about G.cn’s planned exit, “…life is not black and white and sometimes we have to make the best of what we can control. You have to be in a game to win it.”
@krdr It would seem that Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) is really scraping deep into the barrel for a role. He's probably searching his range.3 minutes ago from web
