I’ve written about this at my GuanxiBlog, but have to mention it here. If you happen to be in one of the 30 participating cities, do take advantage of this opportunity (and write and tell us about it!): China Town Hall meetings sponsored by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and local World Affairs Councils. (Sadly, I won’t be able to attend one myself, because I’ll be doing a panel at BookExpo and then in meetings. But some of the presentations will be online soon. And here’s hoping this is the beginning of more extensive efforts to get Americans exchanged in learning and talking about China.)
