In Secret Memoir, a Rare Look Inside China's Politics - NYTimes
This is pretty amazing: Zhao Ziyang, the now deceased chief of the Chinese Communist party, has had his memoirs released to the world. The secret memoir expresses Ziyang's refusal to crack down on students in the 1989 Tiananmen tragedy, ensuring his expulsion from the Party and the house arrest he was forced to live under until his 2005 death. Ziyang also claims that he pushed the opening of China's economy hard without the support of his party cohorts, including Deng Xiaoping, who generally gets much of the credit for allowing China to go out and play on the free market. The book, “Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Premier Zhao Ziyang,” will be released in the USA on May 19th. Think this will be a must read.
