Chinese blog censorship

Here's an extended and well-informed post on the subject by Rebecca MacKinnon over at her RConversation blog.

Chinese bankruptcy resources

I recently discovered a good resource on Chinese bankruptcy law (in English) that is probably not well known: the web site of the International Insolvency Institute. They have a page full of papers by scholars such as Shi Jingxia and Wang Weiguo.

From the China Digital Times, a profile of Xu Zhiyong (许志勇), a very admirable person whom I had the privilege of finally meeting for the first time last summer.

Internships at the CECC

I have been asked to post the following:

The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) is currently soliciting resumes for spring internships (paid) in Washington D.C., working on Chinese human rights and rule of law issues. Interns must be U.S. citizens.

Applications for spring internships must be received by December 1.  Further details are available both in the enclosed attachment and on the Commission's Web site at www.cecc.gov.   

Interested applicants should send a cover letter and resume to the CECC via e-mail to Judy Wright or via fax at (202) 226-3804, attention: Judy Wright, Director of Administration.

Please forward the enclosed attachment to interested students (both undergraduate and graduate), particularly those with strong research and language skills.

Director of Administration
