    • Uighurs vs Han: China's West Side Story
      (Global Pulse: July 10, 2009) Uighurs are in the news: a handful were released from Guantanamo in June, and others rioted in western China in July. Huge numbers of Han Chinese have moved into the region, where the indigenous Uighurs have been fighting domination by China since the 1800s. China let foreign reporters into the region, but immediately lost contr […]

      (Global Pulse: June 26, 2009) A propaganda war is underway.

      (Global Pulse: May 29, 2009) Is there such a thing as clean coal? The industry wants you to think so. But clean doesn't mean non-polluting.

    • For mortgages, no easy solution December 9, 2008
      Hard to avoid. (David Zalubowski/AP) For a couple of months now, smart people have been saying that waves of foreclosures will wash over the United States, with dire economic consequences, if banks and the government don’t find ways to keep people in their homes. The solution seemed easy enough: reduce the monthly payments, and people [...]

      The 2009 Dodge Challenger SE, in all of its glory. (via nytimes.com) I was simply bowled over yesterday when I was reading the nytimes.com website.

    • Must they save manufacturing? December 5, 2008
      Not many workers here… (Ron Schwane/AP) As the wrangling about a bailout for the American auto industry continues, I’m hearing the same thing repeatedly: America needs to preserve its manufacturing to create more high-paying jobs and enhance its exports to the world. It’s true that in order borrow less, the United States will have to [...]

    • Is it Japan all over again? November 28, 2008
      Will it be enough? (Alastair Grant/AP) When Japan’s real estate and stock market bubbles burst at the end of the 1980s, the country faced a terrible uncertainty: Would its consumers shake off the downturn and go back to spending, or would they retrench and save? The answer was the latter. Nothing, even years of [...]

      Number one, that’s us. (RIA-Novosti, Alexei Nikolsky, Pool/AP) As Jad Mouawad writes, there is a predictable tension between the two factions in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries that I’ve been writing about lately (here and here): the ones who can afford lower oil prices, and those who can’t. Cutting production to rais […]
