Good luck man. You might as well translate it into Japanese and understand just as much. At least the translator comes up with some funny puns and faux amis once in a while, which is the only reason why I keep it there... Ha, you been trying to read this using the translator flags?

The book is just not about that. In the same way you could say: he doesn't speak of Tibet, or of the endangerement of the habitat in the Yangtze river, or many other things. It is not meant to speak about every aspect of China, it is just a casual acconut of a certain underground side of the Chnese society. And in general I think he is rather critical of CPC policies.

He said he chose a pen name in the tradition of writers and artists choosing pen names or stage names. He liked Zachary Mexico as a pen name so he used for the book, I guess. But he has not been shy about telling reporters for Newsweek and other blog websites that his real name is Zachary Waldman. Lots of famous writers use pen names. There is no problem with it. The only probleM I had reading the book here in Shanghai was that Mexico never talked about or writes about the problems with Taiwan and China, maybe because he is an American and he follows the BS one china policy of the BS USA GOVT? In truth, China is China, there is one China, and Taiwan is NOT CHINA, there is one Taiwan, too. AND never the twain shall meet. But why didn't his book every address this very important subject? If a reporter asked Waldman about his feelings on cross-strait issues and the U.S.' "one China" policy in terms of Taiwan's international diplomatic space and the communist behometh's rivalry with this democratic island nation, he might be wary of talking publicly about such questions and did not respond to them, no? Because he is so enamored with Communist CHina and its underground that he romantices the dictatorshop of the CCP and cannot see the forest from the trees? I am a Brit so I can see it all. Long live Taiwan as a free and independent nation and may the CCP collapse soon. IMHO. Brit girl...

Thanks for posting, I like your review but please just leave a link here, or if you want you can copy some key lines for discussion. But please don't copy a whole review with date and header and all from a different magazine, it is confusing. Sorry for that. One more thing: Thanks for confirming the real surname of Z. Mexico. He said it was a pseudo during the talk on Saturday but never said which was the real name Hi Eileen.
