“It is more difficult to choke the mouth of the people than to block the flow of a river.”
― Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China
― Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China

“China has undergone an enormous transformation. But because the political system remains unchanged, the great changes in the economic and social sphere have resulted in an unequal allocation of the fruits and costs of economic reform. The combined abuses under the exclusive profit orientation of a market economy and the untrammeled power of totalitarianism have created an endless supply of injustice, exacerbating discontent among the lower-class majority.”
