Wang Huning and More

New on the site this time:

A text by Wang Huning, Politiburo member and arguably China’s most powerful intellectual, “Reflections on the Cultural Revolution and the Reform of China's Political System.”  In fact, this is a 2012 revision of a text Wang originally wrote in 1986.  The translation is a collaboration between me and Matthew D. Johnson, Founder and Principal of AltaSilva LLC.  Matt and I will be offering more translations of Wang’s work in the coming weeks and months.  Two texts are basically finished, and I discovered yesterday that several quite recent talks, interviews, and essays by Wang have been added to Aisixiang.

In addition, for our Youth Concerns project, Freya Ge and I offer the translation of an interesting essay by Xiong Wenchun, “Polarization: The Structure of the Education System Behind the Culture of Migrant Workers’ Children”.

​And finally, an addition to our Spanish-language translations:  Xie Tao, "2020:  Las relaciones sino-estadounidenses y la política americana en tiempos de pandemia."  Thanks to Ugo Armanini for his help in polishing the translation.
