If three times is a trend then there is now a trend of historical liveblogging about China. CDT is doing a liveblog of the Tiananmen demonstrations for the 20th anniversary. Liveblogs of the Younghusband Expedition and the Boxer Uprising are still going on. What will be next?
It was twenty years ago today
I am not sure what exactly you call as “liveblogging”, but at my blog site, Standoff at Tiananmen, I have been running a daily recount of the the student movement in 1989.
Last year, I did a daily retracing of the New York Times report of the same event. Those blog posts can be accessed by the “NYT Archives” label on the site. I believe that was more comprehensive than what the CDT is currently doing.
I’d like to see a liveblog from the long march!
