Her crime was to demand tougher sentences for the men who had kidnapped and raped her 11-year-old daughter. In days gone by, Ms Tang would simply have disappeared. In the age of the microblog, thousands of incensed middle-class people took up her case. In Guangzhou last week, allegedly under orders from the provincial propaganda chief, an editorial in Southern Weekend, a reformist newspaper, was altered before publication . The original called for greater respect of rights enshrined in China's constitution. The amended version praised the Communist Party and China's political system. In both cases, officials were in breach of China's constitution. There is nothing new in that. The officials were behaving as officials always have behaved. What has changed is the expectations of the people. Chinese citizens can no longer be pacified with economic growth and slogans. They want political change. How Xi Jinping, China's new leader, manages this growing pressure for reform will determine his, and his country's, future. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
