A proper perspective on Sino-Russian relations

March 30, 2013 by Mister Unknown 6 Comments

In light of President Xi's latest visit to Russia, it would be appropriate to provide a nuanced perspective to the current state of Sino-Russian relations. It is understandably difficult for the western media to deliver this kind of nuance; this difficulty stems not only from western biases against both Russia and China that obstructs objective analysis, but also the … [Read more...] about A proper perspective on Sino-Russian relations

Kissinger’s “On China” – not quite a book review

March 23, 2013 by Guo Du 5 Comments

Instead of a proper review, this is more like a sketch of the thoughts which struck me while reading Henry Kissinger’s On China. In the past, writers were often individuals who saw things differently. Being different helped them to highlight alternative perspectives and popular social ills. Once in a while, they turned out to be right, and even listened to; and their visions … [Read more...] about Kissinger’s “On China” – not quite a book review
