The title of this weblog is borrowed from a book that has greatly impacted my approach to studying and observing China, and has led me to conclude that the future of America is becoming more deeply embedded in the future of Asia every day. That book was NY Times op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof's memoir about his experiences while working as NYT bureau chief in Beijing. According to Kristof, Napolean once said that "When China wakes, it will shake the world." Can you feel it?
I cannot seem to get over my fascination with bamboo scaffolding. Its almost as if the scaffolding is weaved (woven?) together with the excess material sticking out the top, much like an unfinished wicker basket.
