The policymakers who will determine China's future are trained at the Central Party School, a spacious oasis of scholarly tranquillity in north-west Beijing. The campus looks like an Ivy League school with Chinese characteristics. The school remains largely closed to outsiders. In the past it did not even appear on maps. But it is opening up. It teaches economics, public finance and human-resource management as well as communist doctrine, such as Marx's labour theory of value. It takes only three or four classes to teach Deng Xiaoping Theory, the party dogma that legitimised China's economic reforms and still guides its Politburo. But if even that is too much, three famous clauses may suffice: "Our country must develop. If we do not develop then we will be bullied. Development is the only hard truth." Deng said these words 20 years ago, not at a portentous party conference in Beijing but on his "southern tour" of the workshops of the Pearl River Delta. He was inspired by practice, not theory, having just visited a refrigerator factory in the delta that had expanded 16-fold in seven years. Even the word he used for truth (daoli, which is often translated as reason or rule) is more colloquial than the loftier term, zhenli, reserved for high truths like Marxism-Leninism. Thanks to a sevenfold rise in its output since then, China is well past the point of being bullied.
