When I was in Beijing in 1988, a year before the Tiananmen protests, there was probably not enough inequality - i.e., if a doctor, wanting me to help him emigrate, told me the truth about his earnings compared with others; now they seem to have the same revolting inequality as the West...careful what you wish for..?
