Godfree, thanks for your note. I made a basic mistake, misreading an entry in my database. Deng Yuwen’s article appeared in the FT Chinese edition in 2014, and was not a reprint from Peoples Daily. But he was a veteran of the Party media (editor of a journal of the Central Party School, so is perfectly believable on what could get published. Have you read Geoff Raby’s memoir of times spent with GenSec Xi? Quite educational. Your disparaging tone continues to be immoderate and does you no credit.
