Chinafile intro

China is fascinating and exciting. A Great Nation in so many ways. I am privileged to spend significant time there and with Chinese Universities, students and business people in my native land too. This "Chinafile" is a special place on the website for material relating to China and some is in Chinese language. Please visit and enjoy!" Alan Barrell
