Great article from Sydney Morning Herald reviewing a book "The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers" (Buy it in India from Flipkart). In short, it explains how the Communist Party has installed an encrypted red phone that sits on the desks of the 300 most important people in China. The author alleges that all major decisions by the so called independent Chinese industry are made over conversations with the mostly invisible Communist Party.
This has many lessons for India in general but specifically useful when dealing with telecom operators like Huawei. It is not only that India is concerned, Huawei is under investigations in many other countries including Australia for activities which connect its employees to espionage.
The other news was how journalists are controlled and news is manipulated to keep the Communist Regime in power. Mercury News (US) reports that a lecture titled "Understanding Journalistic Protocols for Covering Breaking News" given on May 15 Tianjin Foreign Studies University by a senior Xinhua official, Xia Lin gives a rare insight in to what the Communist regime expects from journalists. In short, manipulation towards glorification.
