Release the Chinese PNM!
I am told by my kind intermediary in NYC that the publishing house (Beijing U Press) wants to keep the contents of PNM "as is," and that they're working to get all the necessary permissions from various government agencies to make that happen.
I have no reason to doubt this explanation, and so I don't. But I also doubt this outcome is possible right now.
Interesting, though, to be caught up in this larger historical process that is China arising.
