Blog: Then and now: Reflecting on changing perspectives of the WNPA

October 8, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

“No” was the answer I received when I requested membership for the Seattle Chinese Post in the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association (WNPA) in the 1980s.

Blog: APA Summit at Microsoft

September 29, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

This must be a women’s week in Seattle. The Asian Pacific American Summit for API women, a national leadership conference, held on Microsoft campus, had attracted Asian women from all over the country. There were four men out of 181 attendees. Good men, I presumed.

For those who left, you missed an enlightened yet practical approach on U.S.-China relations for the past 30 years. I heard many US-China […]
