DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nChanges and Challenges in China 
 \nForty Years After Opening Up and Adoption of Market Mechanisms\nZheng 
 Zhifa, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\n\nEarth-shaking developments 
 have followed since China opened up and adopted market mechanisms nearly 40 
 years ago. But only a few deputies in the National People's Congress are 
 real representatives of workers and peasants. Protecting the rights of 
 ordinary people has proved difficult. In addition, the ideals of the 
 Chinese Revolution have weakened little by little, as the market mechanisms 
 encourage people to get rich. There is a widespread crisis of the so-called 
 "four faiths" of the Chinese Revolution.\n   \nOur comrade Wadi’h Halabi 
 helped arrange Professor Zheng’s visit and believes it will give us a 
 sense that the pendulum within the CPC is moving back towards the political 
 goals of the Chinese revolution, domestically and internationally. The 
 economy had to be developed, a high price was paid for going to capitalist 
 school, but neither the CPC nor the Chinese state have collapsed -- an 
 achievement in itself  and now -- Zhifa and much more.\n\nZheng Zhifa 
 teaches in the School of Political Science at Nanchang University and is a 
 special researcher at the World Socialism Research Center of the Chinese 
 Academy of Social Sciences. His research interests are in education in 
 Marxist theory.  \n\nSun, Jan 15, 2017: 11:30 am to 1:30
