More on Willy Wo-Lap Lam
Willy Wo-Lap Lam’s widely-read articles about China for Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post helped establish him as one of the world’s most authoritative China-watchers.
A Beijing correspondent until the Tiananmen Incident in 1989, Dr. Lam continued to write as the newspaper’s China editor during the handover of Hong Kong by Britain to China in 1997.
His departure from the newspaper in 2000 was regarded as one of the early warning signals of the impact Beijing’s sovereignty would have on basic freedoms in Hong Kong. It prompted a letter to the newspaper from the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club’s Freedom of the Press Committee.
Dr. Lam is a Senior Fellow at The Jamestown Foundation and the author of a forthcoming book about China’s President Hu Jintao. He is also the author of: China After Deng Xiaoping (1995) and the Era of Jiang Zemin.
And the same crap is also happening throughout Russia and the rest of the “Former” Soviet Republics, with Lenin and Stalin statues appearing in prominent places in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Bishkek, ect. There is a movement to rename Volograd “Stalingrad” and possibly for St. Petersburg to revert to St. Petersburg-Leningrad. There is also talk in Russia about bringing back the Soviet flag as a “Victory Banner”
How about the Disturbing Revival of Maoism in our administration?
What a joke, it's not conservatives that are always working toward big government totalitarianism, it's the liberals.
Pure Marxism is self-limiting - it kills the spirit and incentives to work. The farther Left that China turns, the weaker they will become.
