Back in 2008 I added a new feature to Lost Laowai called the "China Blog Network", with the simple premise of creating a Webring for China blogs.
Membership consistently grew over the next year and a half, but the script that was handling the CBN was beginning to buckle under the pressure. Wanting a more stable environment, as well as a more expansive and expandable set of features, I began work in my free time on…
If you read nothing else today, read this: "How Did I Break [out of] Jail?". The incredible first-hand account of how Chinese blogger Peter Guo (Guo Baofeng), better known as Amoiist, was arrested but managed to get an SOS message out via his Twitter, which then turned into an international campaign to see him released. Peking Duck did a lengthy post on this earlier, but it was great to read the story in the words of…
For this the next chapter in Lost Laowai's series of posts on prolific bloggers in the English-language China blogsphere I go right to the source, as there are few more seminal English-language China blogs than the Peking Duck.
Authored by Beijing-based PR man Richard Burger, the Peking Duck is one of, if not the, oldest blogs featuring a laowai writing about China. The blog offers some of the most well-written an…

As with last year's competition, voting is done in a straight up "Digg-like" voting style, with everyone being able to cast one vote per blog. Blogs are categorized into the following categories:

Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, attendees at the 2008 China Blogger Convention in Guangzhou last weekend were unable to hear what he had to say. But fortunately for everyone…
There's a new... umm... blog(?) coming to town and it's aiming to clean up capitalist China consultants like they were Lenin's laundry.
While chatting with Rich Brubaker today (who was in turn also discussing the issue with Chris Devonshire-Ellis) I discovered I wasn't the only one receiving cleverly crafted proletarian posters insidiously inserted in my inbox (I've mentioned I love alliteration's, right).
I ha…
China bloggers unite! The China Blog Network has arrived.
In an effort to tie together all us sinobloggers, we're launching the China Blog Network, a (appropriately enough) network of China blogs that all link together in a ring-around-the-rosie style (we're praying we don't all fall down).
Though most of us link to each other through our blogrolls, I thought it might be more convenient, and fun, to have a meth…
