I was recently interviewed by MyChinaStart about Chinalyst.
A couple of months ago, while I was in London, I built this small experiment called Chinalyst which I hoped would become some sort of a community for all the China-related bloggers and blog readers, which I consider myself to be a part of.
With very little publicity, and almost no incoming links, Chinalyst has steadily grown and now has over 50 registered China blogs with what I think is a fascinating frontpage with an amazing variety of China-related information from all kinds of different blogs.
It’s still quite anonymous and has a long way to go, but somehow MyChinaStart was interested in an interview, so I gave it a shot. If you’re interested, you’re invited to read the short interview titled “Chinalyst.net Interview - A China Blog Community” on the MyChinaStart blog :
This week’s msn interview is with Fili. He’s the man behind Chinalyst. Chinalyst is a community for independent English China related blogging. He studies Chinese language and culture with a few other courses in multi-culture research and East Asia business in the East-Asia department at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He also works as an IT consultant in the field of security. The Chinalyst website was build by himself.
If you’re curious about the statistics, here’s the growth in RSS subscribers over time :
and daily unique visitors (multiply that by about 3 for pageviews) :
See you on Chinalyst.

Chinalyst is a great source; it would be far more helpful if you split it between Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Mainland purely for practical reasons: most of the blogs concern business, money or happening per location and right now if I want to learn of some happening on the mainland it’s no concern of mine what’s going on in HK and Taiwan. In practice, they rarely relate.
