China Speeds Up Water Quality Reporting
Austin Ramzy Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:41:04 -0000
The China Environmental Law blog, run by Shanghai-based attorney Charlie McElwee, has praise today for a Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection site that updates water quality data every four hours.

Who You Calling Protectionist?
Austin Ramzy Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:30:53 -0000
China scolds the U.S. The U.S. scolds China. It's sort of like the China Blog's comments section! But the back and forth between Washington and Beijing over protectionism risks touching off a dangerous trade war. My story on the prospects of that is here.
