My life in Asia: American lawyer turned writer on China’s pull, Beijing’s Muslims and vanishing hutong culture, Mongolia, and sublime Taiwan
- A China watcher by his teens, M.A. Aldrich did ‘exhilarating’ legal work in Hong Kong in the ’90s before being sent to Beijing, on which he wrote two books
- He set up the first international-standard Mongolian legal practice before settling in Taiwan, which he says has achieved a superb combination of East and West
