Hello to all! This is super quick post really meant to drive you toward an excellent article that I’ve just read. For those interested in learning more about how Chinese politicians work and think, Evan Feigenbaum’s article for the East Asia Forum is an excellent one. It expands on a concept that I wrote about in the Winter 08/09 China Resource Journal about Bipartianship in Chinese Leadership. Many people assume that with China’s one party leadership, that Chinese politics is a monolithic entity that has no dissent or debate. Actually, that is not true. Evan does a fantastic job of breaking down how Chinese politics works and I would highly recommend it.
