Daily commentary about China by TIME correspondents.

More on Creative Destruction

A commenter by the handle of Last asks about the whereabouts of the campus and the former Uighur neighborhood I mentioned yesterday. The location is Ganjiakou, and the Uighur neighborhood is gone. It took some asking, but finally one old man pointed out where it once stood. It doesn't look anything like I remembered. I don't know of any current Uighur districts in Beijing. Does anyone else?
