The Daily Twit ? April 20, 2010

By Stan

Before the Tweet feed, one blog post of note for China law aficionados and a couple of shameless plugs.

First, in the ??? file, a great post by Professor Don Clarke on China criminal law. Professor Clarke uses a case to compile a few stereotypes, or conventional thinking, about China’s criminal justice system, and then discusses their validity. Very highly recommended.

Second, from yesterday, my China/Divide post (third in a series) on the latest attempts to “purify” the Chinese language from the influence of foreign acronyms. Lots of interesting comments from the C/D peanut gallery. It’s more of a tongue-in-cheek post than anything else, so don’t expect a serious discussion on government policy and culture.

Third, from today, my colleague in masochism, Kai Pan, takes on the Daily Mail for “self-righteous snooty dick-ness” in an article about the One Child Policy and the sad fate of unborn girls. The post is excellent in both substance and presentation (see for yourself).

That out of the way, here are the @chinahearsay Tweets for April 20, 2010, edited as usual for sanity and relevance (the latter seems to be a rather flexible concept for me):

1. Chinese should spend more time reading http://tinyurl.com/y6c3cdg – study is really outdated & methodology suspect re: Net usage
2. Latest China Hearsay: “Microsoft: the latest China labor villain” http://tinyurl.com/y3dq27b – designed to generate hate mail, methinks

3. RT @Nigello: BBC Word of Mouth – Ch vs Eng, inc history of pinyin. http://tinyurl.com/y4ly49n – this looks good

4. VOX EU: Do public guarantees influence bank risk taking? http://tinyurl.com/y74dwrb

5. Pettis: Chinese savings and the wealth effect http://tinyurl.com/y65raug —————— —————— —————— ——————
