I already blog at Digicha about Digital Media and the Internet in China and wanted a different forum to discuss broader issues related to China, hence this blog. I did my undergraduate and graduate work in Chinese economics (it was much simpler in those days) and politics before stumbling into digital media. “Sinocism”, while not a real word, evokes how I feel about China; on the hand I love a lot about the country, and am always impressed by what goes on here; on the other hand I am skeptical of much of the hype in the current mass discourse related to China. I hope that through this blog I can provide some useful and original insight.

Thanks for reading, I hope to keep you coming back, and please feel free to email with comments, ideas and suggestions.
