Aw, shucks … stop it. You’re embarrassing us!
November 7th, 2009 by Kent KedlWhen we started this blog and Podcast, lo these many years ago, we didn’t know what we were doing. Some (including ourselves, at times) would argue that we STILL don’t know what we are doing, but that is kind of beside the point. From the beginning, our goal has been to post original content on China business containing perspectives backed up by evidence and experience. As the blogosphere has expanded, we have seen a tsunami of blogs emerge, many of them very good but also many of them that only do “information churn”, commenting on other people’s comments.
The shining star of original content in the China blog-world, in my mind, is the China Law Blog … so when they highlighted our little China Business Blog and Podcast as one of their favorite China blogs, we got all goose-bumply and our ears turned pink. The CLB (as we cool kids like to call it) is on the cutting edge of original content for China blogging. Dan Harris knows far too much about China for someone who has not lived here all of his life and Steve Dickinson – who HAS lived here nearly all of his life – has this weird, kinetic, “I see dead people” sort of insight into the goings-on in China. And they are both great guys to have a beer with so you get kind of a double bonus out of the deal (though, oddly, Dickinson always seems to have to use the restroom just before the check comes). Thanks, guys … we are truly humbled by the honor and will endeavor to live up to the high praise.
OK … enough of the mutual admiration society … back to work everyone!!
