Maybe the most formative? TV series I watched in my teens, fresh in my mind nearly 30 years later ... should buy it on DVD.

Beijing Cream looks at @JohnRoss43 beijingcream.com/2014/10/ken-li…
"Ross doesn’t – yet – enjoy the profitable pro-Party punditry platforms of his fellow foreign cheerleaders, such as Martin Jacques, Eric X. Li or even meritocratist Daniel Bell, but clearly he believes there’s gold up in them hills. After all, he is a Marxist economist."
THIS GUY IS MAKING LOTS OF ENEMIES ... MAKES SENSE SINCE HE COMES ACROSS AS AN ASSHOLE
"Lickspittles like John Ross are best ignored"

The Way Ahead in Hong Kong by Chris Patten - Project Syndicate
No one told Hong Kongers when they were assured of universal suffrage that it would not mean being able to choose for whom they could vote. No one said that Iran was the democratic model that China’s Communist bureaucracy had in mind, with the Chinese government authorized to exercise an effective veto over candidates.
AGAIN THIS IS SPIN

Who Loves China? by Ian Buruma - Project Syndicate
"China’s government has promised Hong Kong’s citizens that they can freely elect their Chief Executive in 2017. But, given that candidates are to be carefully vetted by an unelected committee of pro-Chinese appointees, citizens would have no meaningful choice at all."

This is the look you have if you wear really high-waisted pants.
