China: It’s Not Easy “Preserving the Progressiveness”
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 03.09.06 | 2:42 PM ET
Today’s New York Times has an interesting story on China and the communist party’s struggle to retain members and maintain interest. The approach? A “Maoist-style ideological campaign, complete with required study groups,” the paper reports. The campaign is known as “preserving the progressiveness.” It’s the butt of jokes in China, and it’s easy to understand why. When I was there, I asked a Chinese friend about the state of communism in the country. The response? “I don’t pay much attention to communism. I’m too busy following the value of my stock.”
