China Blog March Madness. Xinjiang, Blogs That Pop And The Old Guard.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

Some interesting/informative new China blog lists out this month. The first, and most specialized, is that on Far West China. The post there is entitled, "A Survey of Xinjiang Websites on the Internet" and that is exactly what it is. Xinjiang gets little media coverage and not much blogging coverage either, so this list, though somewhat sparse, is quite helpful. Far West China suggests the following blogs, some of which are not terribly active: The New Dominion This is Xinjiang Thoughts on the History of Xinjiang The Opposite End of China (defunct) Autonomous Region Uyghur Blog True Xinjiang (government approved) Central Asia Traveler (static site) Asia Healthcare has a post, entitled, "Top China Blogs. The Best China Reads, Generation 20.10," setting out the top 10 up and coming blogs. China Healthcare describes this blogs as consistently churning out good material that makes you think and all with "innovative blog designs, or something that *pops.*" These blogs "represent the future of the China blogosphere in terms of design and content." Here is the list, with my super-brief comment on each: Aimee Barnes -- Excellent blog. 10TonFunk -- Hip. Artsy. Hao Hao Report. I am going to add it to our blogroll. Adam Daniel Mezei. The guy is AMAZING. I love this blog! Way more than just China. Shanghai Street Stories. A feast for the eyes. Gorgeous photography. Shanghaiist. Great site, Of course. But not an up and comer in that it arrived years ago. My Health Beijing. New to me, but I like it. Beware, it is pretty health-focused. Joop.in. Asia (China) for the young and hip. Far West China. See above. Critical reading if you are interested in the Far West. New Dynasty. Bills itself as a City Guide and Lifestyle Magazine and that is what it is. I would be sure to add one more blog to the above list: Asia Healthcare Blog itself. Lastly, Adam Daniel Mezei (see above) compiled a post setting out what he sees as China's five "A-Team Blogs" (those he cannot live without), consisting of the following: China Law Blog. What can I say besides "thanks" for putting us in such distinguished company? Silicon Hutong. Truly a great blog. ImageThief. Truly a great blog. China/Divide. Brand new but with amazing pedigree. Asia Healthcare Blog An excellent, wonky blog. See above. I would add to the list the following: Danwei Peking Duck EastSouthWestNorth So what do you think? Who is missing? Who is undeserved?
