it's my empirical judgment at this time that all criticism of the Chinese Govt. *will be heard* as agreement with the national chauvinism (and implicit racism) of the AFL-CIO position. No theoretical principle is involved. The vocabulary does not exist in the United States, now, to make criticism of China a valid part of a mass movement.
