DimSum, The British Chinese Community Website

I’ve been a subscriber to this website for a few months and it’s a great mix of news about the British Chinese Community as well as featuring articles and a lively forum for debate and discussion. There are also cultural reviews - movies, art etc - and a fiction section. It’s kinda like Fusion View but with a primary interest in being Chinese in Britain - whereas my aim for Fusion View is to explore cross-cultural experiences whoever and wherever you are, although there is obviously a Malaysian thread running through this blog, given that that is a deep part of who I am.

DimSum was founded by Sarah Yeh, out of her college thesis and it seems to have gone from strength to strength - as has her own career. The DimSum team are a dynamic mix of Chinese, Vietnamese and European writers whose skills range from media through IT to business and economics. A study earlier this year showed that Orientals are under-represented in the UK media so it’s great to see such a high-powered, highly skilled largely Oriental team making a splash on the web.
