The Great Stall of China
by Kerry Brown
Like anywhere else, the politics of the People's Republic runs along two tracks. There are the issues that policy is meant to
address and do something about. Then there is the presentation of these policies. Policy and presentation go hand in hand.
Strong policies but poor presentation lead to governments underselling their work and getting no credit. Good presentation
and poor policies are even more calamitous, leading to the deadly criticism that an administration is all talk and no action.
