Language: English.
Self description: "An online resource developed by the Asia Society to meet
the need for timely, reliable, unbiased information and assistance
regarding the cultural, economic, social, historical, and political
dimensions of Asia. With a worldwide events calendar, a glossary of terms,
annotated links and opinion pieces, news services, country profiles,
special features, and much more."
Description: T.M. Ciolek (Asian Studies WWW VL): "An exquisite resource,
which in addition to publishing its own unique and valuable materials,
unmistakeably aims to supersede (i.e. to 'crowd-out', as distinct from
'complement', or 'collaborate with') the many tens of other online
resources on Asia. In short, a digital Napoleon in the early 1812."
