General Tso's Chicken, one of my favorite chinese dishes, is not a China creation. It was actually introduced to the world in New York City in 1974. As a kid, my family would dine at Chinese restauarants on Canal Street, the heart of Chinatown in New York City. As an adult, each time I've visited San Franscisco, I've always made a pit stop in Chinatown. I enjoy sampling the wide array of dim sum (appetizers) that Chinatown cafes have to offer.
However, when I think of China, the first image that comes to mind is the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989. I still can't believe that was 17 years ago.
China has changed during that time. They've become an economic colossus. I believe they're number four in the world economy in terms of Gross Domestic Product. More and more American companies have opened offices in China. Last month, my friend Brad took a job specifically to work as a software developer in China. He and his wife are documenting their experience in his blog, aptly titled Brad Swanson's blog. I probably won't be making the trek to China any time soon but after reading Brad's blog my perspective about China has changed.
