Internet Resources
Here is a handy list of clickable links to important websites. Required reading/viewing is listed first. Suggested links are presented next. (Click on the title, of course; the URL is provided for your reference).

Comments on these links are most welcome, as are additional suggested items that you come across in your browsing. Are there favorite links in your field of business related to China, for example? Share them, please, and remember that comments are an expected part of your course participation.

By the way, this page contains Chinese characters. If you see ??? marks or odd squares, please check your page viewing character encoding options and be sure they are set to read Unicode (I think!).
