Something to think about for both Left and Right

Professor Eric X Li on the virtues of the Chinese Communist Party...

I wonder if what he is saying reflects the official Party position or the *de facto* Party position;  or is it merely his own view as an academic?  

I'll spare everybody my reflexive critique because I'm wondering if there's any way to have the Party cake and eat it too...
