Thanks Hans. I have been in Taiwan, not Mainland (yet). At least it gives me a place to start. I will post my bibliography next weekend after I hand it in and the course outline I came up with. I appreciate it, because I now have more of a direction.
Cheers.

>>I could use some input. I am trying to keep the class from being too scholarly. If you wanted to learn about China, what would you be most interested in and why? What would make you interested in taking such a class? For Chinese people what do you think Americans need to know most about China and what would you like them to learn the most?
