Looking for an article published in the Los Angeles Review of Books a year or two ago. It was shared quite widely so I expect a fair few people know of it. I've searched Google to no avail.

It was about the teaching of English literature in Chinese universities, and the rise of solid departments and academics who could give their western counterparts a run for their money given the quality of research and output.

What a surprise! Our profs and students in the humanities are shallow and surface level. I welcome our Chinese overlords and their superior minds.

>Free from the invisible social constraints of academic norms — the trends and fashions of academic study — young Chinese scholars are writing with wild abandon about Sidney Sheldon, slave narratives, Emily Dickinson, Margaret Mitchell, “Chick Lit,” and Michael Chabon. I met a scholar studying Neil Simon and Toni Morrison, a combination for which I can’t imagine a supportive dissertation committee here.
