China EDG Dinner

Our next discussion will occur in a more social setting, a restaurant! On Tuesday, May 19 at 6pm we will meet in front of CityShop and walk over to the restaurant to have dinner together. It should cost about 35RMB per person (but it will not be as fancy as in the picture).

If you would like to come, please RSVP (tell us that you are coming) by Sunday. REMEMBER: we will meet in front of CityShop at 6pm (not the usual 7:30pm).

The discussion will be more free-flowing, based on current news and topics you are eager to discuss!

From last week:
The website we discussed, from which you can download music for free (if you're in China) is:

• Top 100: www.top100.cn/
• And the new Google edition: www.google.cn/music/

I (Kai) must say that I find this shocking from a Western perspective, as these record companies are essentially waving the white flag (surrendering) on IPR in China--perhaps we can discuss this too!

News Review

This week we are changing the format slightly. For the upcoming week EDGers should keep a close eye on the international media and what it has to say on China. Then either print (or email us so we can print) an article of interest so as we can discuss it at this weeks meeting!

In preparing for this perhaps you can think of a few questions about your article and/or perhaps add a comment to this post (comment tab below) telling us about your article with a link to it so we can also begin to think about your article.

When: Tuesday, May 12th at 7:30pm
Where: City Shop Pan Yu Lu
