Now it's teeming with artists, curators, collectors and hip young students, as well as curious foreigners. It also houses the local branch of the Beijing Art Now Gallery, www.artnow.cn, which opened at the beginning of the year and like its parent is tasked with identifying the very best contemporary Chinese art for major museum buyers.

When asked about the links between his political science degree and his acting career, he took the opportunity to express his views...

It stems, perhaps, from this curious impulse among champions of social liberalism to do everything in their power to make social conservatives uncomfortable.
