Dear friends and colleagues,

Remember me? Sorry for no newsletter last week- the combination of work, travel, a snowstorm and a family emergency conspired to keep me from being able to spend much time on the newsletter. For the same reasons there is minimal commentary this week.

Apologies as well to those who have written over the past two weeks who have received no response. I will start working through the email backlog this week. Your comments and feedback are always welcome. Old issues are always available at www.chinapoliticsweekly.com. Sign up or unsubscribe by sending an email to info@chinapoliticsweekly.com.
