Thoughts on Lawrence Lau's Appointment to the CPPCC National Committee Wu Yisan Summary: At the Chinese University of Hong Kong I saw a red banner on which was written in white simplified Chinese characters: "Warm Congratulations to Comrade Lawrence J. Lau on His Appointment to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference." I was amazed -- when did Lawrence Lau became a "comrade"? It is clear that even overseas independent intellectuals can be seduced into accepting this detestable label. I had to give credit to the united front skills of the Communist Party. 2 Chinese Version Exclusive     Friday, February 29, 2008 Our URL: http://www.observechina.net   Email to friends   Related Articles: Liang Shiqiu on the KMT and CCP Fu Guoyong Heartless Intellectual Jia Ping'ao Yu Jie Intellectuals During the Great Leap Forward Luo Pinghan We Must Not Slander the Party's Policies on Intellectuals Ji Xianlin True Freedom and Self-Redemption Ran Yunfei The Evil Acts of Guo Moruo's Final Years Yan Jiawei Intellectual Contortion in the Post-Opium War Era Duanmu Cixiang Reflections on the Relationship between Truth and State Power Xie Yong The Rise and Fall of Ideology and Intellectuals Chen Yan No Socrates for China Li Weiguang Intellectuals in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution Pei Yiran One Hundred Intellectuals' Appeal Letter President Bush met with Chinese Christian intellectuals CIC Three Christian intellectuals refused to enter Hong Kong Chinese House Church Christian Intellectuals Met With US President ©2002-2009 China Information Center.
