This is where I’ve appeared last month outside the realm of Vagabond Journey:
VICE
I was interviewed for a story on VICE about the interesting adaptions that China’s daigou — illegal importers — are making in the face of a widespread government crackdown. Read it here:
Forbes
I published five articles on Forbes this month, bringing my total up to 200 articles that I’ve published with them since January of 2016. I took a little more than a year long sabbatical from publishing with them to free up some time to work on film and book projects, but now I’m back.
I had three stories do rather well this month, one is up to 99,000 views, another brought in 85,000, and a third attracted 35,000 visitors. The remaining two also did decently, coming in at around 10,000 views each.
My stories this month ranged from China’s activities in Africa to floating cities to Americans receiving unordered packages from Asian criminals to China’s new solution to solve its housing crisis to why China’s development model can’t be exported. You can check them out below:

John Hopkins University Press
I was also surprised to find a nice review of Ghost Cities of China appear in the John Hopkins University journal East Asian Science, Technology and Society. Read it here:

LinkExcellent! You packed a good deal of truth into that post. In the USA people save their lives for retirement just to discover that they become slaves to health insurance bills, let alone doctors — and all the other entities striving to take the hard earned money that the worker bees saved up over their lives. They leave one form of self-imposed servitude and enter into another. Many realize they got ripped off, but at that point it’s too late. Live for today, live for tomorrow, but don’t live for ten, twenty, thirty years from now. The stage probably won’t be set how you think it will be.
