I'm here! The only real policy that we have on Living in China is that there shouldn't be any overly bigoted or offensive material on LiC itself, and that as a site representative of English-language China bloggers as a whole there shouldn't be any pot shots at each other on the site itself.

But to ask members to adopt this policy in their own sites would be utterly against the principles of free speech. We can't and shouldn't dictate what people post on their own sites: what would that would make us?

It's been said many times by many people that LiC doesn't have a clearly stated policy and in a way this is the way it should be. My aim is for it to be neutral and even-handed: whatever their viewpoint each person has an equal right to express their opinions about Chinese affairs on the main website. What goes on elsewhere is not under our jurisdiction!

Got it. Let it be written; let it be done.
