(1) [chinese characters] Yuan Zhiming, [chinese characters] "Fandongpai yu fanduipai" (Reactionaries and oppositionists), pp. 8-11. The author delineates the difference between the concepts of "reactionaries" and "opposition factions."

An opposition faction in a democratic society can be identified by four characteristics: Indepedence, grouping, openness, and coexistence with other parties or factions.
(2) [chinese characters] Su Wei, [chinese characters] "Zhonggong de 'dang wenhua'" (The "party culture" of the Chinese Communist Party), pp. 12-18. "Party culture" is a third culture, in addition to traditional Chinese and Western cultures. It is allegedly characterized by three elements: cheating, terror, and forgetting. The nature of "party culture" has been the nature of political culture in Chinese society since 1949.

Explores the main causes of the failure of the 1989 Democracy Movement. The author contends that the movement was in many ways similar to the peasant rebellions of the past, in that it was motivated, not by higher ideals, but by a desire for personal gain. In addition, he feels that China's lack of a democratic tradition society makes the fight for democracy even more difficult. He concludes that the first step is to envisage a better society, then the pursuit of this better society will lead Chinese to transcend the obstacles to democracy.

VII. E-mail Transcripts—In English

Scope and Content Note

The early entries in this part of the Archives come mostly from material created or relayed by the UCLA China Students and Scholars Association (CSSA). In 1990 this source was mainly replaced by the national e-mail publication China News Digest. While this publication was founded in Canada and individual issues were edited at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Arizona, its long-term home came to be Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, where the U.S. edition was produced, and the University of Indiana at Bloomington, where a European/Pacific edition was produced. Altogether the e-mail section of the Archives occupies 3,768 pages.

Because of the diversity of the subjects discussed and the often voluminous number of pages transmitted, we have not attempted to summarize the contents in the same way as the rest of the Archives. Instead we simply directly quote some of the major headlines (in upper case headline style, in quotation marks), paraphrase titles of e-mails (in lower case text), or briefly describe some of the longer or more interesting documents. In a few cases we have let a single quoted sentence from the text of a dispatch stand as the summary of the story.

We have emphasized articles about the Democracy Movement itself and actions of the Chinese government concerning this movement. We have generally omitted stories about China's economy or diplomacy, and noted only a small part of the coverage of the then-Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc, which interested the editors of China News Digest. We have added occasional comments, dates, or clarifications in parentheses (square brackets if inserted into literal titles). We have kept all references to a single document to one sentence each so that each paragraph in this section amounts to a (partial) list of the disparate contents of the folder for that day or week, with the abrupt changes of subject indicating different documents in the transmission.

Hore, Charlie. The Road to Tiananmen Square. London: Bookmarks. 1991.

Physical Description: 159 pp.

Scope and Content Note

A socialist explanation of the history of China in the twentieth century, and in particular of the economic and social changes in the decade after Mao's death that led to the revolt of 1989. The author argues that Mao's revolution was nationalist rather than socialist, whereas the 1989 movement raised the possibility of a real socialist change brought about by the collective power of the working class. The revolt of 1989 fundamentally threatened the "modernizers" around Deng Xiaoping. Conceding to the movement's demands, the author argues, would have led to an even greater explosion from below which the ruling class could not hope to control, and so they chose the only other option: brute force.
