...senior scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, states flatly that "the process of economic reforms will naturally bring about a process of democratization, the setting up of checks and balances in political life and the rule of law." If so, and if the Chinese are willing to reinterpret Lenin as well as Marx, the potential consequences for both the Communist and non-Communist worlds would be truly staggering...

It seems unlikely (though not unimaginable) that the courts would reinterpret the guidelines for some kinds of subpoenas and make them more challenging to acquire, given how much functional precedent lies behind the current procedures. For now, then, the best policy might well be one of prudence. It pays to be aware of just how vulnerable the details of our private lives could...
