Teachingtips.com did an article entitled, "25 Surprising Facts About China’s Education System." (h/t to China Economics Blog) And though I am not prepared to say all 25 will surprise you, certainly most of them are at least pretty interesting. On top of that, each fact has a link to its source, which usually provides more interesting/surprising information.

Chinese Law Prof Blog recently did a post on Chinese law journals in English. His list consists of the following journals currently in publication:
Peking University Journal of Legal Studies. No online edition, but you can subscribe here.
Tsinghua China Law Review. This is brand new, but it shows tremendous promise. I was provided with its first issue and I was quite impressed. It reads like a legitimate U.S. law school law journal in pretty much every respect. The Tsinghua journal's Board of Editors is comprised of "students at the Tsinghua University School of Law, both Chinese law students and foreign students in the LLM Program in Chinese Law." I know its Editor-in-Chief, Carlton Willey, and I know how committed he is on making this Journal a must read for those doing legal business in China. I suggest you check it out.

The DragonBeat blog has a great post, entitled, "Why foreigners are beating China’s tea-makers on their home turf." The post is on why China has none of the leading tea brands worldwide, but what it says pretty much applies across the board to Chinese branding in general. The comments are interesting as well, with many of them complaining about how bad Lipton tea is and how the Lipton market is completely different from the market for Chinese tea.
Wrong. If anything, Lipton is a classic example of great branding and of how a Western company has managed to take a ho-hum product (in this case, Lipton tea) and market it in such a way as to trump the market.
When will there be a Chinese Lipton and who will that be?

Just received this email from co-blogger Steve Dickinson:
I do my martial arts workout three mornings a week at the beach here in Qingdao. We have a great view of the entrance to the Qingdao port complex. Vessels intending to use the port must "park" for a while as they wait for a berth. For most of the summer, we would regularly see no more than five or six vessels parked and waiting. This Monday, I counted 23 vessels waiting for a berth. This means that the port is entirely backed up and there is simply no room for the vessels. This suggests that activity at the Qingdao port has suddenly increased, leading to a delay in shipments. The Qingdao port is the second largest container port in China. Its capacity is enormous and it is unusual for the port to back up in this way. This suggests that shipments out of China have suddenly increased in the past several weeks.
What are you seeing out there?
