So here’s the new blog for my year in China. Welcome. I’ll get around to giving it a proper look and all that soon, so bear with me.
I’ll be flying to Shanghai in about a week, and I’ll have to be in Beijing by the 30th.
A word on the title. Firstly, I love computer games, but there’s no blog out there specifically covering gaming in China. Time to fix that.
There’s another meaning here too. Spence calls China the ultimate other. I think he’s right. I don’t claim to have any deep understanding of China, but I think that’s what fascinates me. It’s inscrutibility is why myself and my friends are drawn to it. Sometimes the inscrutibility is such that you’re making blind calls, second guessing and hoping for the best. There are many new skills to be learned and many new rules to comprehend. It’s enormously challenging. And it’s usually immense fun, this China game.
