Kellogg's recent dumping of Michel Phelps as its spokesman had at least one unexpected consequence: The sudden appearance of about 3,800 pounds of cereal at the San Francisco Food Bank. Kellogg's, one of the many corporations to tell Phelps to get out and stay out as their spokesman after his love o...

The theme of China’s annual National People’s Congress taking place this week – the proceedings of which remain highly secretive beforehand – has been largely an economic one. Although the environment is hardly the priority issue du jour, China has not entirely changed its course with re...

More than two and a half years ago I wrote about the inevitable collapse of China’s luxury malls. A brief reminder: Anyone who’s walked around Shanghai’s more prosperous areas (and Beijing’s as well) is well familiar with the glut of luxury stores, with Bulgari and Gucci boutiques everyw...

A lifetime ago I was in the Army. For 5 years, no less. This is often a shock for people who only know me as old, soft, weak, fragile Charlie, but indeed I served my country. Like anyone in the Army, I'd go on field exercises and deployments. When you're "in the field," things get kinda salty. You c...

It started innocently enough. It'd been a very long day. I'm heading back to the US in a few days, and my Mom wanted me to bring back some wall-hangings for her. So after 3+ hours at the Panjiayuan antique market, haggling and negotiating and fighting and arguing, I was beat. And when in Beijing and...

So Michael Phelps enjoys partying. He got caught with a bong once and admitted to it. So fuckin’ what! Get over it! This is another thing that sickens me about the media. I’m 100% positive and I KNOW that most all famous people party hard. That means, smoking weed, drinking hard and gett...

"NOT SINCE The Honourable Schoolboy…" has there been a satisfactory spy-fi novel set in Hong Kong, say the Times of Charles Cumming's modern spy-fi thriller Typhoon . They may well be right – but there have not been a lot to choose from. Typhoon – which shares its name with a Joseph Conrad nov...

Strangest thing. China Daily, Shanghai Daily and Xinhua (to name the first ones I’ve checked) seem to have minimized mention of the Mandarin Oriental’s destruction. Go to their home pages now and see. China Daily only has a reference to the story on its list of recent articles if you loo...
