New York Times Jan 2006 Top Ten Search Terms

The venerable New York Times, which has for years had some of the finest China reporting, now sends out an email with links to its most popular stories for a given month (most popular in terms of how frequently they’ve been emailed through the Times’ forwarding system).

In the margin of that email for January I found this list of the most popular search terms for the month. China is number two, right after India but ahead of Brokeback Mountain, a film about gay cowboys (however, that film’s director is Ang Lee, whom Xinhua proudly points out is a Chinese director, so maybe there’s some overlap there).

I had to look up who Larry David is.
