  3. China’s Tiananmen Generation Speaks: • China drew worldwide condemnation for brutally quashing a student uprising in Tiananmen Square on 4 June 1989. But in the months and years that followed, the incident has remained largely unmentioned inside China, at least in public. • Here people born in the years around the crackdown talk frankly about their knowledge of the event and how they were taught about it. • http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8061483.stm

  5. National People’s Congress • 2,000 people are elected into the NPC • Convened once every 5 years to elect Central Committee (200 people) • Central Committee elects 24 member Politburo… • POLITBURO • Every significant decision affecting China's 1.3bn people is first discussed and approved by a handful of people - almost all men - on the party's political bureau (politburo), the nexus of all power in China. • The 24-member Politburo is elected by the party's central committee. But real power lies with its smaller standing committee, which works as a kind of inner cabinet and groups together the country's most influential leaders. • How the standing committee operates is secret. But its meetings are thought to be regular and frequent, often characterised by blunt speaking and disagreement.
