The successful hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing dispelled notions that many foreigners like Mark Surman had about China. Surman, who has been studying political science at Peking University for the last two years, is one of the 40 million foreigners who are studying Chinese now.

Looking at the good, the bad and the ugly

Scanning art reviews in The New York Times with a cup of coffee on the city's subway is no longer part of my life. Back in Beijing, after several years of graduate school in the United States, I recently revived my habit of reading the morning newspaper in my office. And China Daily - with some art coverage - goes well with coffee or tea.
