>> In general it would be would for nettime to focus more on China :) Or let’s be more clear, to fellow Chinese critics, artists, coders, theorists, researchers and other dreamers. To get an understanding of the Party and its relation to the business elites is one, but can we still have a direct dialogue with people out there?
As I lurk on this thread I’ve learned many things, thanks to prior contributors who replied! I lurk even though the context discussed in this thread is of proximity to me. I have to say my thought laughed really hard at "Will you except an invitation from a school or art institution in Shanghai?”, because it’s so pungently direct and forces the discourse to step aside for a minute (the discourse is as important).

The point is not what do the usual suspects think about China (or whatever proxy you like), it’s whether they — we — can extend the nettime project. Not so it can absorb new milieus; if anything, so it can be absorbed by them.
