# 5 Chinese News Blog – Jottings from the Granite Studio

I mentioned that I was going to visit the 141 blogs aggregated at Chinalyst and introduce them here over the coming days/weeks for PanAsianBiz readers.

The number of blogs about China in English are growing and there is plenty to read for those interested in the goings on in China and reading about it from different perspectives.

The number five blog in the General New Blog category is Jottings from the Granite Studio
