A Changed China Tuesday, February 24, 2004; Page A20 In his Feb. 17 op-ed column " 'New' China, Old Repression," James Mann contends that "in fundamental ways relating to human rights and political repression, China today is not much different than it was a decade ago." That is a dramatic statement, marred only by the facts. China today is a society in which a court releases an Internet dissident on the grounds of insufficient evidence; in which the media condemn bans on begging in Shanghai and Beijing on the grounds that beggars have rights, too; and in which journalists, leaders of nongovernmental organizations and ordinary citizens launch a successful Internet campaign to prevent the construction of a dam. Political change in China during the past decade may not have moved as fast or as far as many would have liked, but to deny the change is a fundamental misreading of China today.
