“Bull in a China Shop” — Who we are, and Why you should be reading us
We are a group of cross-cultural, bilingual, and like-minded writers who have a deep interest in China matters, and we intend to provide a new, alternative, and balanced voice on China topics compared to the status quo. And like the Bull in a China Shop, we aim to be a bit different, a bit disruptive, always interesting, and also sensitive and respectful (we promise we won’t break that beautiful China tea set — at least not yet). Now, are we piquing your interest, maybe just a little?
Yes, we know plenty of ink (or bytes) has been spent on China by the so called mainstream Chinese or Western media. But the questions are: 1. Are they naturally biased or one-dimensionally mainstream? 2. And even if they claim to be, or try to be unbiased, do they really have a good understanding of both sides of the story? (Yes, it’s not their fault really.) So in comparison, we will present you a multi-colored and 3D (motion) picture on China and the China-West relationship.
So if you are interested in getting the real scoop in the China Shop, you have found us here now, whether you are a western audience or English-reading Chinese audience, and whether you are young professionals or more seasoned business people or politicians. And we want to start a conversation with you, not talk down to you, nor talk over you (unlike some of our mainstream media or so-called China experts).
And if you are already reading this far, you are probably interested in what we have to say. And if you like what we have to say, please lend us your ear and your support, spread the word, and help us to become a recognized and trusted voice on China matters (and perhaps you may help us become incredibly famous someday; and if that should happen, we will still remember and be grateful to you and your support).
What if you do not just want to listen? If you have something inspiring/interesting to say about China, and if you want to join us and become one of our voices on this platform, please send us your articles via voice.china15@gmail.com.
Okay, but there gotta be some real people behind this right?!
Yes indeed, there are a handful of authors who will be main contributors to the “Bull” in the beginning phase, among them are Yinuo Li , Byron Shen, and Yutao He.
