RLK: Now this will not mean overt dissent from the media. Certainly, that has been suppressed and will arguably for the foreseeable future continue to be. But in the inner circles, he is obligated to continue to seek guidance and get alternative opinions.
HOST: Speaking of the media you just reminded me of something and we were having a lovely conversation yesterday. I don’t think either of was being particularly rude or anything. And let’s put up the video because you and I were chatting about, just regular Chinese politics and what was happening and this was what happened in our office. We were shut down by the censors in the middle of our conversation. What does that say about how things are going to be run?
RLK: China is extremely sensitive during this particular time of the 19th CPC National Congress. They do that for all
national meetings but this is probably the most central time.
All elements of media are under strictures. Who knows at what level decisions are made? But even internet connections this week have been terrible because of extreme censorship. I expect that will lessen in the future. But it is endemic of the situation and we will all learn to live with it. As I said, there’s a larger picture here about what Xi is going to do in terms of his people orientation, rejuvenating China, comprehensively deepening reform, and strengthening rule of law.
