	Peking story, nice quote on role of party.

Fang Lizhi, an astrophysicist who headed the country's
prestigious University of Science and Technology in
Hefei until he was summarily fired last winter for
supporting college students' calls for greater
democracy, explained the problem in an interview
published in the West German news magazine Der Spiegel.

In China, the party does not want to manage only politics.  It wants to
control everything, including the way of life and the thoughts of the
people.  Today, factories are being managed by managers, but the party
cadres keep wielding the power.  Peasants enjoy the free-market system,
but the cadres tell them: 'You still need our rubber stamp, you still
have to buy us off!'  There lies the root of the new corruption.  In
order to create a true economic democracy in China, one ought to abolish
political controls.  That is exactly what the party fears most.
