  • Skewers, aka chuanr, Lao Pi BBQ

I’d like to thank whoever subscribed me to News China, a glossy magazine whose title pretty much says it all. There’s lots to read in the August issue, including a report on extremist violence in the far-western province of Xinjiang, a lovely travelogue on the tea harvest in Zhejiang province, and a spirited defense of Chinese Muslim barbecue, or chuanr, in Beijing, where authorities have scapegoated vendors of live-coal-charred lamb skewers, blaming them for the city’s awful pollution.
