		<description><![CDATA[Hong Kong has made the startling discovery that some of its young people are taking drugs instead of being the well-behaved ping-pong playing, academic over-achievers that they are supposed to be. Each day, it seems, the papers gloat over some new tale of teens and chemical depravity. Oddly, much of it occurs in the last [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=2318&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Those unfamiliar with the story—it is hard to think who [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=2263&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I sometimes wonder for how much longer the Chinese government can continue to repress the desires of its people for political change. The cynical—and that includes me—will answer “forever.” But when I consider the whole exhausting machinery of repression—the legions of internet censors, sleeplessly trawling the internet for mentions of Tibet or Tiananmen, or the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=1996&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Chinese NGO, the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, has drawn mostly blanks in its bid to reasearch pollution levels in the mainland. It recently sent requests to local government departments charged with environmental protection in 113 mainland cities, asking for details on local polluters. Of the 113, just 27 gave any details.

Depending on what kind of homebuyer is targeted, the catalogs show either a sunbathed arcadia of wooded hills, sunsets and pristine water, or a blazing Gotham, its denizens clad in evening dress, devoting themselves to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=1893&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But even sensitive, intelligent foreigners—people who should [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=1745&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
