...recent speech to party leaders, Deng accused several individuals of disclosing classified information to foreigners. One person arrested was a woman: Fu Yuehua, 32, a human rights advocate. The Vice Premier was also evidently shocked by pictures of Chinese dancing the hustle with Americans on the eve of ceremonies marking the restoration of diplomatic relations with the U.S. last January. He promised to imprison those who "sold state secrets" on the dance floor. Since then, Chinese seen dancing with foreigners at Peking's International Club have been evicted by plainclothes police officers...

In a society where little is permitted to happen without government approval, the poster remained on Wang Fu Ching Street for two days, indicating that the auto mechanic who wrote it, if indeed a mechanic was the author, had high-level approval. Moreover, as the week rolled on, additional posters supplemented the original. Words like "fascist" and "dictatorial" were used to describe Mao's rule.
