connecting China - The first responses
Yesterday I launched this idea of telling the world how China is changing because of the internet.
Andrew Lih, associate professor at the journalist department of the Hong Kong University wrote
"I like the idea a lot. Let me know how progress goes and if you need any help. I think a radio-type show on a weekly or biweekly basis would be quite cool, for example."
Amy Gu, weblogger in Shenzhen wrote: "I saw your plan, and though it was interesting. So it is aiming at telling the world the status of the Chinese internet users. How do you know the world know little about that?" And I wrote back: "I have to deal with the outside world on a daily basis: I see what my colleagues are writing about, the issues they focus on. Even at UC Berkeley in April we (the bloggers from the mainland) had a hard time to convince people what was going on. At this stage I have not clue where all this will bring us, but I sincerely feel we should let the internet work. So, I do not want to do this by myself, but also test the force of the internet."
And Andrea Leung, one of the founders of Living in China, wrote: "I am the most happy to hear that there will soon be more perspective coming outside from BJ & SH and into the real China. I'll take the liberty to write a short blurb about it in Chinese and post it to Robert Mao's UUZone, one of the many places where Chinese netizens gossip - and that's the nature of social networking on the Chinese front."
Still looking for more feedback and candidates to talk to.
