[lbo-talk] left protests in China

the prosecution of
_leftist_ protestors in China. What i find most interesting is that
there is now a vigorous left internet presence in China, apparently
growing with great rapidity. These pieces are translations from Chinese
posts put up in the last week or two.

--I met and know one of the men sentenced to three years in jail, Zhang
Zhenyao. He was one of a number of former rebel wing of the Cultural
Revolution that was actively helping support workers organize against
corrupt state owned factory takeovers in Zhengzhou Province, which I did
my dissertation on.  The internet left activity has been growing and was
actually active from about 2000.
