The Garlic Roundtable: Hu's In Charge --August 19, 2005
According to today's ECONOMIST, "Hu's In Charge." That is, Hu is in charge in China. Hu thinks, and I quote, "that the Communist Party, riddled with corruption and other abuses of power, is quite capable of cleaning up its own act without the need for any checks or balances." What's your opinion?
Garlic: Yes. Duncan: That's what I'm asking Garlic: And that's what I'm telling you.
