Whoa, I thought she was still reporting from China. I guess she is now persona non grata.

Funny story: She came through Dallas a few months ago for a book signing tour. At the last minute I had to travel out of town. I sent my Taiwan-born gf in my place to see her speak and get a book signed. She was apparently one of the few, or the only, Asians in attendance. Louisa Lim even remarked how few Chinese have shown up to her book signings. So, even in America, Chinese here have a blind spot for recent Chinese history.

And it's getting worse. I've noticed a trend in recent years where the new Chinese bourgeoisie and intelligentsia are outright dismissive of books and other media addressing these topics, attributing them as Western slander driven primarily by envy over China's economic miracle.

I believe she is now a visiting professor of Journalism at the University of Michigan through a grant by the Knight-Wallace Foundation.

Truly misses her voice on the radio and reporting from China.
