One name mentioned repeatedly, and respectfully, mentioned in China Pop is that of journalist [Dai Qing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dai_Qing) (戴晴). Dai has written on many topics, including a book on the Three Gorges dam, which got her briefly jailed in the aftermath of Tiananmen. More recently she has criticized the Beijing Olympics, and is one of the signatories of [Charter 08](http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22210)
Trying to track down her work on the internet, I end up with:
- A blog apparently once here, but now seemingly only available from archive.org
- A handful of newspaper columns from the start of this decade
- A profile of Dai from the Wall Street Journal (one of many, but mostly telling the same story so I’ll stick with listing one)
