Another NYTimes article; this one is entitled
"At 86, a Liberal-Minded Party Elder Is Still Jousting With China's Censors"

excerpt from the middle of the article:
--------------------
Now [Du Daozheng] ... spends his days jousting with ... officials, trying to foist ... topics like Mr. Zhao's career into the public domain. Helping with Mr. Zhao's memoir — a rare look at the party's inner conflicts that was published this May outside China — was a particularly daring thrust.

But strategic ventures into forbidden territory are characteristic of his monthly scholarly journal, Yanhuang Chunqiu. In 2005, he published articles on Hu Yaobang, the former party leader whose death helped set off the T***n protests.

I was all packed to go to a uni that closed suddenly w/ H1N1. The information I get isn't very clear, but seems that the students are getting the vaccine and the foreign teachers are promised it in the future. The unclear part is that I thought they were sending the st's home.
 
Anyhoo, I'm currently in India!

Replying to my own post below, students & teachers will be vaccinated next month.
Any adverse reports about the vaccine?

Alan...I'm curious about what news coverage is occuring in China re. H1N1?
Here in the U.S. we are getting very exstensive coverage on the seriousness
for young people. But...we recieve very little news on what's going on in China? I'm wondering if it will be a factor in China's recruitment of new F.Ts? Anyone want to remark??

Ha,ha...you're right but back in June a seminar I was to attend got canceled because the two U.S. guest professors arriving from the U.S. were on a plane landing in Beijing had one passenger with H1 symptoms and the officials quarantined everyone for ?? days and the profs never did arrive in Wuhan for the program. I never got a staight story from the Chinese profs running the program.
