My college roommate (he is both an international lawyer and a book author) sent me an email with the subject “Ordos” and the tagline, “this is wild.” It is.
The “it” to which my former roommate was referring is a New York Times article, In Inner Mongolia, Pushing Architecture’s Outer Limits, on the Inner Mongolian boomtown of Ordos. The article nicely conveys China’s Wild Wild West feeling and the almost giddy sense of unlimited opportunities China presents.
More importantly, it is interesting as hell and so you should be sure to check it out.
