My views on China are similar to yours. I worry about the tendency in our society towards extreme views not only on China but many other countries or issues. I'm lucky to live in San Diego where UCSD has a fine 21st Century China Center. I follow a number of China scholars on Twitter, especially Dali Yang. I'm surprised that you don't read the Wall Street Journal. If you put aside their editorial page, their reporting is excellent.
Thank you for writing, I always appreciate your comments. I don't read WSJ partly for time reasons (already read a lot) and partly cost -- many of the sites I read are not behind a paywall, and the Times has a very low rate for academics. Journal is pretty pricey. :)
