Greetings,

I’ve decided to take the plunge into the world of blogging. For months, I’ve been contemplating developing a website that analyzes Chinese news and I decided to take the easy way out and create a blog. The goal of this site is to provide a fair and balanced look into the Middle Kingdom; China’s growth is the single most important geopolitical change in today’s world. Anyone interested in international relations should have a thorough understanding of China’s role in today’s world. Unfortunately, most media outlets provide spotty coverage of China. Through this blog I hope that readers will not only learn about China, but also learn from China. The blog will provide a comprehensive overview of China’s rise, particular attention will be given to:

• The Environment
• The Economy
• Security Issues
• Migration
• Nationalism
