Leaning Left: recent policy trends in China sponsored by the China Discussion Group Chinese policy today is "leaning left."
A center-left government headed by President and General Secretary Xi Jinping is in power, a change from the reform group dominant during 1980s-90s period. China is shifting to a new economic model, where growth is driven by domestic spending rather than low-cost exports. A struggle has unfolded between the Communist Part of China and Western anti-China forces and Chinese dissidents.
Paper by Duncan McFarland, China discussion group coordinator, presented at the Left Forum in New York City, May 2015. Followed by discussion.
