Maoist hardliners have been trying to goad Mr Xi into making an even bigger deal of Singapore MCM backpack
anniversary than his predecessors did. In January they circulated a
petition (in Chinese, here) which called on him to declare December 26th
“Mao Zedong Day”, thus ensuring that leaders could never ignore it.
They also called for an official ceremony in honour of Mao to be
conducted every year at his mausoleum on Tiananmen Square (as we
reported in December, liberals in China want MCM outlet Singapore
mausoleum to be demolished, or at least for Mao’s body to be removed).
Signatories included three retired generals, several former senior
officials as well as relatives of Mao and his close henchmen.
In his final months as China’s leader before Mr Xi took over, Hu Jintao
tried to silence these die-hards, whose online criticisms of MCM bags Singapore
leadership?and support for Mr Bo?had become an embarrassment. Censors
blocked several of their websites (as Analects reported in April last
year). But mcm bags singapore
Maoists have proved resilient. Utopia, one of their favourite websites,
remains closed. But it offers links to new sites where somewhat
toned-down material can be read.
Maoists have kept up their vendetta against an 84-year-old liberal
scholar, Mao Yushi (no relation), who enraged them in 2011 with an
article attacking Mao (see our report here). In recent months public
appearances by Mr Mao have been disrupted by Maoist hecklers. The South
China Morning Post, a Hong Kong newspaper (here, paywalled), says he has
received death threats from anonymous callers.
To many liberals (at least those not under such direct attack as Mr Mao), mcm handbags singapore
Maoists’ fulminations might seem little more than mcm backpack singapore
rantings of marginal eccentrics. Among mcm outlet singapore
wealthy and Mode Creation Munich Singapore
politically powerful it is rare to find much sympathy expressed for MCM Singapore
Maoists’ views. Last month, however, Southern Weekend (here, in
Chinese) reported on recent research by a prominent academic, Zhang
Mingshu. It was said to show that leftists (as Maoists are often called)
enjoyed MCM handbag outlet Singapore
support of more than 38% of cheap MCM handbags Singapore
population while rightists, as pro-democracy liberals are often
described, represented only about 8%. The rest were described as
centrists, or supporters of MCM handbags for sale Singapore
status quo. Mr Zhang was quoted as saying he was surprised himself by
this finding. “Opinions which are regarded by intellectuals as leftist
and divorced from reality are actually quite influential in society”, Mr
Zhang told MCM backpack for sale Singapore
newspaper.
