Jasper Becker sees a conspiracy in how
many of those who witnessed, and possibly even participated in Cultural Revolution atrocities, are stepping into the highest offices of the Chinese state. Well, a lot of us did stupid things while we were in college. I know, I know--generally that didn't include murder. But my point is that in terms of policy, these guys probably won't be that leftist, even if they'll probably never suffer punishment for the suffering they once inflicted on others.
