    This Saturday, December 3, CET and Sinica will present "The Soul of Beijing," a live podcast event about where Beijing is and where the city could be going as it barrels into the future, at Beijing's Capital M restaurant. From the event page:

    Where is Beijing headed in the 21st century? What sort of city is it morphing into? Has it found a way to maintain its role as political and cultural capital while keeping its historical character and ineffable personality? Why do we still love it so, despite it's toxic air, its horrific traffic, its disastrous fengshui? And is it in danger of losing its soul?



    Join us for a lively and thoughtful discussion with Renaissance man



    Kaiser Kuo



    (previously on Jing Daily), author



    Zha Jianying



    ("China Pop" and "Tide Players"), sinologist



    David Moser
