Another one I wanted to post for anyone who may be interested in Chinese current affairs and such from a focused, outside observational perspective, is Tea Leaf Nation | E-Magazine - Making sense of China through social media - this site is an E-Zine focusing on current events inside Chine and has some interesting coverage. The article I enjoyed the most so far was a look at the black market demand for non-Chinese powdered milk in the mainland.

I would love to see posts and recommendations from others as well, if they have any. Furthermore that I would like to state now that the editorial stances of these publications do not represent my own - I read them for entertainment and as part of my routine to get perspectives from all angles on particular stories to form my own opinion down the road.
