This rollercoaster ride has to stop
[2010-04-06 06:48]The easing of tension between China and the United States in the last few days is a fresh reminder how capricious bilateral relations are. It's similar to the fickle weather in New York a week ago when the temperature suddenly dropped 10 degrees C.
In quitting, Google misses its chance
[2010-03-30 07:57]If you want to help change China for the better, you should involve China and be there. Otherwise you won't have an impact on the country simply by claiming a high moral ground and distancing yourself from the place.

[2010-02-02 07:04]Most bystanders passing the Shanghai Expo construction site these days might try to visualize what the area along the Huangpu River will look like on May 1 when the world extravaganza is unveiled. To me, trying to envision the area after the six-month show is no less challenging.
Haitians deserve a much better future
