“I've known Rebecca for many years, since we're both "old China hands," and so it's hard to pick "titles at the time" for both of us; when we started hanging out, I suppose she was still Bureau Chief for CNN, and I was a rock musician. At Berkman, with Global Voices, and in her work in academia in Hong Kong, she has proven to be a tireless proactive force for positive change in the Chinese Internet. Although our opinions may sometimes diverge I've alwasy trusted that her strong commitment to her values is tempered with a fundamental pragmatism, and I've never known her to be dogmatic. She is a thorough, thoughtful, and powerful writer and well deserves the influence she's found in the Chinese blogosphere. Plus, she's super dope cool and fun to hang out with!”
