Dear Readers, apologies for my absence over the last 3 years.
It coincided with my elevation to the Head of Department here at the University of Birmingham.
Management and blogging and not particularly compatible unfortunately.
However, I have now completed my term and am looking forward to getting this blog back up and running.
I will instigate a redesign in the near future and bring the blog into the 21st century.
You will also have noticed that this blog is now associated with a real economist.
I have been working on Chinese economic related issues for a number of years and have a deep fascination with China past, present and future.
There is a lot to write about and I hope you will join me on this journey into the middle kingdom.
