China Sex Blogger Releases Book

Two years after he provoked internet outrage in China, an anonymous British blogger who wrote about his sexual exploits with the country's women has decided to reveal his identity in a book.

David Marriott, who claims to be a graduate of Cambridge University, sparked an online campaign to out him after he set up a blog where, using the name ChinaBounder, he posted entries with graphic descriptions of his attempts to charm the women of Shanghai into bed.

The campaign drew thousands of people to Chinabounder's blog but despite endless speculation in the media and online, Marriot's cover was never completely blown.

Now he has decided to emerge in an effort to promote a new book: Fault Lines on the Face of China: 50 Reasons Why China May Never Be Great.

The book itself will further add to Chinese ire as it rubbishes their country's attempts to tout itself as a global force.

Speaking exclusively to the Guardian from an undisclosed "third country", Marriott confirmed for the first time that his alter ego was ChinaBounder.
