Xinjiang Blog Battle
Remember the days when I was the unopposed king of the Xinjiang blogosphere? Well, those days are over. In just the past few weeks, invaders on my turf have increased the size of the local blog universe by 200%!
Most of you already know about Who Let the Camels Loose?, where Fausto keeps us rocking to the exotic beat of Xinjiang. Nevermind that he's only written two entries... one of them is pure gold!
But how many of you have visited Xinjiang Watch? If you ever wanted to know everything that goes on in Xinjiang (literally), this is the place for you. A sample of recent news items translated from Chinese sources:
• Microsoft Office 2007 to appear in a Uyghur-Qazaq-Chinese-Qirghiz-English version!
• Last year, the workplace accident mortality rate in Qaramay fell 11%, with only 95 workers killed!
• The Ürümchi Ministry of Public Security has decided to hunt down and kill stray and rabid dogs all over the city!
• Crop levels in Xinjiang have stayed relatively stable this year, despite some structural configuration!
And so on and so forth. Exciting stuff, eh? Seriously though, they've got two good people writing already and are looking for more Xinjiang-related content. If you haven't read about it on Xinjiang Watch, it didn't happen in Xinjiang. Period!
Welcome to the newcomers... I'd better stay on my toes.

Solid of you to support the 'opposition'. Both sites are interesting. "Who Let the Camels Loose" might just make you keep your often ironic, and funny writing style sharpened. The Xinjiang Watch boffins are already miles ahead in the news department, but that's another (news) story. For now, you are still the first, the biggest, brightest, and the best.

Hah, my girlfriend drew that picture of me, and now it's famous!
Thank you very much for posting about our new blog. I started the news update because I was doing some research and deeply frustrated with the lack of Xinjiang news available in the US when, all of a sudden, I found a link to the Xinjiang Daily. I basically went nuts for an hour reading the last few days of news, realized that I should make it a regular exercise, and decided it would be a good resource for other people interested in XJ. For example, in my department (Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University), most of my classmates have in interest in XJ, but they all speak Russian, not Chinese. While I have EurasiaNet for post-Soviet news, they have nothing for Xinjiang.

Competing blogs are just like competing law firms. The more law firms there are in a town, the more lawsuits there will be and the more blogs there are in a space, the more there will be to blog about. Let he throw the first stone who has not on a slow (or busy at work day), just gone to another blog and pulled a post and critiqued it.
