Tibetans Pose for a Photo Behind a Portrait of Their Beloved Mao Tse Tung
Tibetans pose for a photo behind a portrait of their beloved Mao Tse Tung. Former slaves and serfs and their descendants were ecstatic after the parliament of the Tibetan Autonomous Region of the PRC announced that March 28 would be celebrated as Serfs Emancipation Day. The day marks the 50th anniversary of the day when Tibetan communists and the Mao-led Chinese state began to abolish the slavery and serfdom of the former Dalai Lama-ruled Tibet. 32 SOME LEFTISTS ARE SHARING THE HOPES OF CONSERVATIVES. WHY ARE THEY WILLING CHINA’S EcONOMY TO ALSO COLLAPSE? 8 August 2008: Beijing during Olympics opening ceremony. March 7 - Factories closing, recession, financial institutions collapsing. These realities which are engulfing capitalist countries (realities which hurt working class people the most) are making propagandists for the “free market” system rather uneasy. In fact, more than uneasy. The whole situation is likely to give advocates of capitalism a case of the runs that is even worse than that which afflicts their stock markets. After all, the main argument that they have been throwing at the masses for decades is that, despite everything, “capitalism develops the economy.” How are they going to bailout pro-capitalist ideology now! If that were not bad enough, the capitalist rulers know that everyone is talking about “Communist China’s” economic successes. They would know that people would’ve watched the Beijing Olympic Games and would have noted the efficiency with which the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) organised the events. They know that Olympic viewers could not but be impressed by the marvelous stadiums that the PRC built and would have been wowed by the beauty of the Olympics opening ceremony that the People’s China conducted. -

The CCP Central Committee's Leading Small Groups Alice Miller
Miller, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 The CCP Central Committee’s Leading Small Groups Alice Miller For several decades, the Chinese leadership has used informal bodies called “leading small groups” to advise the Party Politburo on policy and to coordinate implementation of policy decisions made by the Politburo and supervised by the Secretariat. Because these groups deal with sensitive leadership processes, PRC media refer to them very rarely, and almost never publicize lists of their members on a current basis. Even the limited accessible view of these groups and their evolution, however, offers insight into the structure of power and working relationships of the top Party leadership under Hu Jintao. A listing of the Central Committee “leading groups” (lingdao xiaozu 领导小组), or just “small groups” (xiaozu 小组), that are directly subordinate to the Party Secretariat and report to the Politburo and its Standing Committee and their members is appended to this article. First created in 1958, these groups are never incorporated into publicly available charts or explanations of Party institutions on a current basis. PRC media occasionally refer to them in the course of reporting on leadership policy processes, and they sometimes mention a leader’s membership in one of them. The only instance in the entire post-Mao era in which PRC media listed the current members of any of these groups was on 2003, when the PRC-controlled Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po publicized a membership list of the Central Committee Taiwan Work Leading Small Group. (Wen Wei Po, 26 December 2003) This has meant that even basic insight into these groups’ current roles and their membership requires painstaking compilation of the occasional references to them in PRC media. -

Tibet Under Chinese Rule by Dina Buck
H UMAN R IGHTS & H UMAN W ELFARE Tibet under Chinese Rule By Dina Buck Introduction The struggle between Tibet and China has been a long and intractable one. How China chooses to deal with Tibet, commonly referred to as the “Tibet Question,” is a point of controversy both within China and for the international community at large. The two main points of concern are Tibet’s quest for self-determination and Tibetan quality of life under Chinese rule. While Tibet’s struggle for self-determination can be linked with the questionable treatment Tibetans face under the Chinese government (hereafter referred to as Beijing), the two issues are not exactly the same. Tibet’s quest for self-determination has its roots in Beijing’s invasion and takeover in 1950. No doubt this has contributed to the grievances the Tibetan Government in Exile (TGIE) and the Tibetan people have with current Beijing rule. The important role self-determination plays in the psychological well-being of Tibetans can be deciphered from the current Dalai Lama’s discussions with the international community, as well as from his persistent efforts to negotiate with Beijing for greater self-determination allowances. The Tibetan people’s strong support of the Dalai Lama can be interpreted as collective agreement with his views. The quest for self-determination also leaves open the question of whether or not Tibetans and the TGIE would seek greater autonomy even if they felt they were treated fairly by Beijing. However, it is clear Tibetans are not always treated well or fairly. In many ways, Tibetans are marginalized and oppressed, both intentionally and inadvertently, by Beijing and the hegemony of Chinese culture. -
