China hints at reform by dropping Mao wording
BEIJING (Reuters) - The subtle dropping of references to late Chinese leader Mao Zedong from two policy statements over the last few weeks serves as one of the most intriguing hints yet that the ruling Communist Party is planning to move in the direction of reform.
Mao has always been held up as an ideological great in party communiqués, his name mentioned almost by default in homage to his role in founding modern China and leading the Communist Party, whose rule from the 1949 revolution remains unbroken.
Which is why the dropping of the words "Mao Zedong thought" from two recent statements by the party's elite Politburo ahead of a landmark congress, at which a new generation of leaders will take the top party posts, has attracted so much attention.

This isnt exactly how the Soviet Union died. You see Gorby started the freedom and democracy idea in Russia. And then Solidary was next in Poland. And then berlin wall fell and that was the death of ther USSR. Hu Jintao isnt exactly like Gorby..Hes a businessman idea. But hes not for freedom of speech. Thats still not allowed in China. But free enterprise idea is now allowed in China. You can try to get wealthy in China but you cant call Hu Jintao an Asshole like we can call Obama an asshole here.
