Specifically, he warned that China can "never again afford" notions promoted by Mao Tse-tung during the 1958-59 Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and '70s. Hu's observations about the turbulent past highlighted China...
Last week, in a startling admission, the Taiwan government said that members of its military intelligence organization were involved in Liu's murder. Two Nationalist gangsters who had reportedly confessed that they helped carry out the crime said that Colonel Chen Hu-men, a deputy department director in the intelligence bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, was aware of the plot. The colonel was arrested last week, while other Nationalist officials under suspicion were being questioned...
