China and Socialism

Its here! The long-awaited weekly blog about China and socialism.

This blog features respected and long-time China expert Sidney J. Gluck.

Our blog will be updated every Monday.

E-mail me all your questions and Sidney and I will provide some answers and or commentary. If you have comments, questions, your own perceptions that may coincide or differ from ours, let's have a discussion.

We aren't afraid of controversy, and we respect all views.

History and present developments in China are very important; change is taking place at a rapid pace in China as everywhere.

There is simply too much that is misunderstood about China today, or not being presented at all, for us to not discuss China.

In addition, how we pursue relations with China may often determine saving plants and even entire industries and thousands of jobs here in Minnesota and around the United States. An example was the pending economic collapse of the huge taconite mine and processing facility in Eveleth, Minnesota which is providing hundreds of jobs and operating today because it is a joint venture between Cleveland Cliffs and the Chinese.

Might the Chinese offer part of the solution to keeping the Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant operating?

The Wall Street Journal called "socialism a burden" for China... is socialism a "burden" to the Chinese people; or, an obstacle to Wall Street coupon clippers having their way?
