some reading resources on china
@yogthos @ArindamAs to what sources are reliable a rule of thumb I look at two criteria: 1.The quality of the research they do: Are they drawing from a variety primary texts and reliable statistics? etc. and 2. What are their political biases and interests? do they have principled and coherent analysis? or are they bourgeois propagandists of some kind?
