I agree with the gist of your post, and you do a great job of helping me clarify some of the reasons why there is such lopsided awareness among Chinese elites (and by this I really meant university-educated, non-farmers) than among university-educated Americans. I love the paragraph starting "People seek what they aspire. They do not seek what would only make them feel guilty. We prefer to hope, not pity." I have been shocked to discover the low traffic numbers of some of the most prominent China blogs that have incredibly high quality editorial content. But in fact much of this material does not address the motivation of most people who have been drawn to become interested in China. Combined with our conversation about what you have learned about recent college graduates and young foreign professionals who live and work in China, it all makes sense and is a valuable input into our thoughts of what we want to do with CN Reviews. Thanks for the dialogue and for helping us raise our game. I don't expect to have an answer for your final question but its the right question and thanks for being a fellow traveler on our journey!
