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.

    Glad to see you back. I missed my daily “fix” of Jeremiah.
