As 2013 comes to an end, we have compiled a list of our top ten most read posts from the year. Along with the major news stories (the Bo Xilai trial), the list is also peppered with some perennial favorites (Wendy Deng, Guo Meimei, Tank Man) and other older posts that popped up on people’s radars again. This was also the year that CDT turned 10 and published our first eBook. Happy New Year to all and thank you for your continued support of CDT.
