Just a line to say that if you're interested in China, the environment and/or tech stuff, you might like to take a look at this new site, (sorry to spam you if you're not interested!). It's a project of opendemocracy.org edited by Isabel Hilton. It's interesting for a number of reasons, not least that it's worked out a comfortable way to use chinese and english on the same page, but also because it's the only site i've seen that actively seeks to host a conversation between non-official China and the outside world. One reason that's rare is because of the translation costs implied. Anyway - take a look.
