Another good source

Melody Dickison, from Wayne High School, wrote to recommend the Hoover Institution's China Leadership Monitor. I'm glad she did.

There are some sources that I've known about long enough to take them for granted and expect that everyone else knows about them too. This is one.

The China Leadership Monitor web site says that it "seeks to inform the American foreign policy community about current trends in China's leadership politics and in its foreign and domestic policies... " The organization's "analysis rests heavily on traditional China-watching methods of interpreting information in China's state-controlled media." The "website is updated with new analyses quarterly."

Currently, the articles on the web site are about elections in Taiwan, reorganization of the PLA, corporate power in China, the chances for political reform, an analysis of current Party leadership, and the leadership in Guangdong.

This is a source that you and your students can use as a research source. Thank Melody.
