Sorry for going offline. Had to get my visa situation sorted out here in Beijing (a subject for a future post) and in today’s climate, I thought it best to go dark for a couple of weeks. Thank you to the many readers who emailed me wondering what was going on, it was very much appreciated.
New posts coming soon including a new installment of the Asian History Carnival on Wednesday.

Kudos.
Welcome back, Jeremiah.
Not a moment too soon, either. CCTV’s version of Chinese history is a very poor substitute.
You did let everyone that e-mailed you know that I wasn’t some sort of horrible tyrant of a (site)landlord who was holding the “off” switch of your site above you until you coughed up the cash… right?
Awesome to have you back.
Yes. Let me categorically state that I asked Ryan and Dao by Design to take the site down. It was neither a technical issue nor was I being shaken down. Purely a precaution during the visa renewal process.
Good to see you back.
Looking forward to some more insightful posts and glad to hear that all is well.
Welcome back!
Glad to see you back. I missed my daily “fix” of Jeremiah.
good to hear you’re back.
Incredibly insightful writings, Jeremiah. You are a great man to call nephew.
