October 1 and China Political Commentary

By Stan

As we approach the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, I’ve noticed a bit of an increase in articles that address current Chinese politics and where things seem to be headed. At the same time, my Internet connection has been painfully slow (coincidence???), so I have not been able to see everything.

One article that should be on your must-read list is by Melinda Liu at Newsweek. Melinda is a bona fide “old” China hand and knows what she’s talking about when it comes to domestic politics.

What’s different about this article is its discussion of something sort of new here: the formation of two camps of political thought within the government that look, at first glance, to be quite similar to the main political schism we see in a lot of Western countries.
