Happy to pass along the video of Afshin Rattsani's interview of Prof. Zhang Weiwei, Director of Fudan University’s China Institute and former Translator for Chinese Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping. It is worth listening too, though one must be prepared to filter the listening through the not unexpected political and ideological lenses through which the interview is framed. Framing context is everything in contemporary discourse, and discursive engagements. And this interview is no exception with respect to the time, place, and space within which it was produced. In a sense, that lens is as instructive as the very interesting conversation wrapped around it. Conclusions, of course, will be a function of the listener's inclinations, and correctly so.
