Just for kicks, comparisons between the Taiwanese and PRC rags regarding Hu Jintao's latest speech...
From The Taipei Times (http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2003/01/04/189685) (actually a Reuters pick-up):
China's Communist Party chief Hu Jintao (_JÀAÀÜ) has urged the party's 65 million members to live a simple life and work hard and avoid the temptation of indulgences such as money, power and sex.
Analysts said Hu's speech, splashed on the front pages of all major Chinese newspapers on Friday, was aimed at reviving the image of a party tarnished by high-level corruption scandals, and at reassuring party stalwarts they should not be threatened by recent moves to embrace private entrepreneurs.And from Xinhua (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2003-01/03/content_678108.htm):
BEIJING, Jan. 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has called on all Chinese people to be united and work hard to turn the country's blueprint into reality.
Hu made the remarks during a recent inspection tour of Xibaipo,an old revolutionary base in north China's Hebei Province.Interesting example of dichotomy...
