I read some of it, but I couldn't help being irritated by the bourgois complaints of the people this guy picks out. They have unprecedented freedoms in China, and they want to pick a fight with the government. Most of them are pretty wealthy, as well. I guess I'm just an unreconstructed Zhou En Lai Communist at heart. It's something that people who read Newsweek would enjoy, since it probably conforms to their world view.
