I know I am revealing my age here, but when I was reading China Rises today, I coudn’t help but remember an old (racist?) Calgon commercial in which the Chinese proprietor of a laundry explained that the customer’s clothes were so clean because he was using an “ancient Chinese secret.”
Far more interesting and relevant though are today’s secrets, which Tom Lasseter, McClatchey Newspaper’s Beijing Bureau Chief, is rightfully obsessed about. Lassester has been reading recently released Wikileaks documents on China and posting on them on his China Rises blog. I expect (and fervently hope) that we will be seeing more such posts as more documents become available or simply read. Fascinating stuff for anyone interested in China or in global politics.
What do you think?
