[Subject]: Website about the image of the "New China"

Hello!

Here is a website that might interest forum members:
http://www.shanghart.com/shiyong/

A Shanghai artist, Shi Yong, designed this website as a means of
interacting with people around the world, surveying their opinions as to
what the image of "New China" might be.  A year and a half ago, he had a
different website where he invited people to choose what hairstyle and
clothing he should wear to successfully represent the New China.  It is an
intriguing way to find out what people overseas may think of China's
contemporary facade.
