Your correspondent attended the annual Chinese bloggers’ conference in Hangzhou on October 28 and 29. Rebecca Mackinnon of Global Voices was there, and she has written a good summary of some of the more interesting speakers at the event: Bloggers, innovation, and China’s future. Excerpt:
If one extrapolates China’s future from this group of individuals, you see a peace-loving, compassionate, humanistic, globally minded, flexible, hard-working lot who are well poised to drive Chinese innovation…. and to drive it in directions that the entire world should certainly welcome. The Chinese government would be crazy not to embrace them as poster kids for China’s future.
Well said.
