I may not look fully Chinese, but I have often felt very Chinese in America. Many of my values are informed by my mother such as respect of one’s elders or a lifelong emphasis on learning and education. Chinese holidays were routinely celebrated in our household. And yes, “Haw Flakes” and “pork floss” sandwiches were routinely packed in the school lunch box.

To be an officially recognized contemporary artist in China, you must stay on script and veer away from the politically taboo.

Given such strict guidelines in a land known for censorship and government control, is there room for authenticity in Chinese contemporary art?

The iTunes music store is now 10 years old, and the cracks are starting to show.
 
The business model has hardly changed this last decade and a number of music streaming options are out there, grabbing the attention of a younger demographic.

How should iTunes innovate for the next decade?

So an environmental agency in Hong Kong says the increased smog in the territory is due to "a lot more sunshine."

(Insert eyebrow raise here.)

In this month's "On China," I ask Christine Loh, the Under Secretary for the Environment in Hong Kong, about the causes of Hong Kong's air pollution.

"People in the public health and in the environment area don't often work together," says Loh. 

"So in a way, you have administrations all around the world where different bits of the government don't see cleaning up as everybody's goal. You need strong leadership at the top to make it clear that if you are going to clean up air pollution or water pollution, this is a priority of the whole administration."
