China Basher?
Andrew, I'm not sure that you hit the mark with that comment about Dr. Waldron. Critical of China he may be at times, but he is certainly a man with a vast and deep appreciation of China itself, Chinese people, and Chinese history, language and culture. His wife is Chinese and his sons, obviously, half chinese. I was a student of Dr. Waldron's in college and took several of his classes, read his book on the Great Wall of China, and he also served as my independent study adviser. I have not kept in touch with him since I graduated 5 years ago, and perhaps his views and politics have radically changed, but I would not call him a China basher at all. He is a very, very bright man with intellegent and nuanced views. I just wanted to temper what seemed like a very anti-Aurthur Waldron blog post.
otherwise, andrew, huge fan.
