Song Qiang

Song Qiang is a co-author of China Can Say No, The Way Out For China: Under the Shadow of Globalization and Unhappy China. He keeps a Chinese language blog, 开花の身体, in which he intersperses musings on the culinary arts with nationalist-themed rhetoric.

In 1995, Zhang Zangzang recruited four co-authors to write a book that would appeal to growing nationalist sentiment in China. These included Song (who was working as an advertising manager in Chongqing and was a college friend of Zhang), Qiao Bian (a gardener at the Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau), Gu Qingsheng (a Beijing-based freelance writer), and Tang Zhengyu (a reporter from the China Business Times). Shortly after publication, the authors became national celebrities.

Song's section of China Can Say No is The Death of Heaven's Mandate and the Coming of a New Order, an autobiographical account of Song's development from a naive pro-American student to a Chinese patriot.
