About

china/divide is a group blog three incred­i­bly awe­some guys started to write socio-political com­men­tary on mod­ern China issues, how China relates to the world, and how the world relates to China.

Still here? Wow, okay…well, china/divide is also a place to escape from the wingnuts, from the rabid Chi­nese hyper-nationalists that think the world is out to keep China down on one side, and from the annoy­ing self-righteous for­eign­ers that think China is the def­i­n­i­tion of pure evil on the other. We like to think of our­selves as mod­er­ates, as being in the mid­dle of this divide.

We’re mid­dlenuts.

Which is fine, because we want to be rea­son­able and fair, to think crit­i­cally about com­pli­cated prob­lems, to chal­lenge mis­con­cep­tions and prej­u­dices, and to rec­og­nize the good points when­ever and wher­ever they are made.

So yeah, china/divide is us shar­ing what we’re inter­ested in, what we know, and what we think. But it’s also a place for any­one gen­uinely inter­ested in hav­ing inter­est­ing, intel­li­gent, and hon­est con­ver­sa­tions about China and all the insan­ity that sur­rounds it. If that sounds like you, we wel­come you to share your com­ments with us and get involved in our dis­cus­sions and debates.

We update daily, so take a moment to sub­scribe to our RSS feed, sign up to receive our e-mail updates, or fol­low us on Twit­ter. After all, we’re incred­i­bly awe­some.

Really.

Cheers,
Stan Abrams, Charles Custer, and Kai Pan
