news china update

Unfortunately the NY Times China website is not only intermittently interrupted with ads and polls but has also implemented a strategy to charge readers. Thus, many of the most interesting articles about China are archived now almost immediately and can only be accessed if one is a member of Times Select, which of course charges a fee. Sometimes some articles cannot even be viewed unless one is a member. A year ago this was not the case. Thus, I have changed the link in my sidebar from the NY Times, which heavily focuses on China's development of the Rule of Law, to the Guardian's China webpage, which in general has more variety. The NY Times, I must say however, does have some interesting articles now and again.
