...major cities like Hangchow, Canton and Wuhan, as well as in the industrial province of Heilungkiang in the northeast, political bickering has "greatly disrupted and undermined our revolution and production," as one Chinese radio broadcast put it. On the surface the disputes center on the perennial issue of "material incentives"-that is, higher wages. In many cities, there is evidence that workers, whose salaries average a spartan $30 a month, are demanding increases...
...most serious incident came a little more than a month ago, in the ancient garden city of Hangchow. In the words of one Chinese newspaper, factories were "unable to increase production because of bourgeois factionalism and sabotage by class enemies."

"I used to think it was useless to study," he said. "Anyway, I would have to go to the countryside with an ax, so what did I need general knowledge for? I used...
...Shanghai, proud of the neat 12' by 15' room he shared with his wife and son, and of his ability to save part of their $90-a-month pensions, but apparently prouder of the basket of peaches a visiting relative had brought from the country. There was the Hangchow high school student explaining that anyone could play basketball, but to play for the school team you had to be a good student and a good Marxist-Leninist as well as a good player. Someone asked if basketball stars had prestige in the school, and he said, "We don't talk...
