The lockdown on the city of Wuhan was lifted early April, face masks are still a ubiquitous civic duty (don\u2019t leave home without one!), and we continue to have to register for entry around the city \u2014 often by scanning QR codes linked to our cell phone providers that provide a green light based on whether or not you have left Beijing in the last several months. Thanks to the effectiveness of these and other relatively minor inconveniences, residents of China are now broadly enjoying the freedom to eat out, work from their offices, and take their families to parks and tourist sites \u2014 perhaps with too much unbridled enthusiasm, however, as made evident by the throngs of tourists at Yellow Mountain the weekend of April 11-12, 2020, (shown below).

For more digestible China-watching, I\u2019ve also included some ideas for newsletters and podcasts for subscription. I have also tried to maintain a business focus (with some Canadian content), but keep in mind that invaluable commercial lessons on China can be drawn when the concentration is on history, politics or culture. Another important point to keep in mind \u2013 China moves and develops at a very different speed than the rest of the planet, so writing tends to be outdated often before even hitting the printing press. Be cognizant that a book from 2008 or even 2018 can be considered essentially ancient history by China standards, but don\u2019t discount the learning or strategy as being obsolete. Note that these are personal favourites, and not without their flaws \u2014 but I\u2019m also always looking for new recommendations myself, so please reach out with your own ideas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>BOOKS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.evanosnos.com\/book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Age of Ambition \u2013 Evan Osnos<\/strong><\/a> (Non-fiction)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As the longtime Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos shares his gift for bringing the city, country and everyday people to life in <em>Age of Ambition<\/em> by recounting their personal stories and intertwining them with broader themes within the dramatically-evolving Chinese cultural landscape.
