Danwei's Jeremy Goldkorn sits down with the author Paul French to discuss his latest book on foreign correspondents in China, Through the Looking Glass: China's Foreign Journalists from Opium Wars to Mao. Why did he stop in 1950, is one of the obvious questions. Because China is not longer a big story, compared to those times, explains Paul French. "Trade conflicts are a bit different than the Opium Wars."
