When things would go south in China, its regime will try to draw inspiration from Mao-era communist root in order to survive. This is the hint of what is to come in China. Princelings such as Xi Jingping and Bo Xilai are the real power who believe the regime is theirs to defend, while Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao are just the hired 'shopkeepers' of the regime, from princelings' viewpoint.

Also look to Russia. They are singing songs to Stalin and Lenin in schools there too. A revival of Maoism in China and Stalinism in the “Former” soviet countries does not bode well for the US.

We have a silly song we sing at home when we end up cooking for lots of people:

“GOT to do it!
GOT to do it!
GOT to feed the masses!”

/remember, I’m a historian and the wife grew up in Cuba. We know a few Maoist songs.

Red China’s nostalgia for Mao Tse-tung, like Putin’s nostalgia for Stalin puts order and control over human values such as individualism and civil rights.

Red China’s princelings led a charmed life and want to continue to live soft while common Chinese work hard and long. It all comes down to the PRC Army, will the generals keep hold or will units be reluctant to fire on the commoners when unrest finally breaks out?
