Hey bric spender (Aug 2010)
If China’s 83m Communist party members formed a country, it would be the sixteenth largest in the world. So when the party’s most elite congress gathered this month, propaganda apparatchiks worked overtime to try to highlight the diversity of the assembly: the ethnic minorities (wearing traditional costumes), female party members (who composed 23 per cent of the congress delegates), and entrepreneurs, who were only welcomed into the party in recent decades.
