Thanks a lot for the below, Jay.

A few very brief comments:

Very good that you have contact with someone who obviously
is rather well informed on events in China, historical
ones too! So you'll see, Jay - I hope - that the Avakianists
etc etc have been fooling people completely concerning that
part of recent Chinese history! (I think my Info #22 on that
in 12 parts - 3400+ lines!) is contains some pretty conclusive
evidence on the "4-Gang". But it's always good to have some
confirmation and more info.

NB We should watch out for a certain type of Chinese
chauvinism which is now rising, it seems, and which probably
would try to utilize (misuse) the greatness of Mao Zedong
for itself. The "PCP tradition" of course is making "the
opposite" mistake, that of supporting the "4-Gang".

>I am anxiously waiting for the english translation.  If you hear 
>any more about it, let us know.     -Jay Miles / Detroit

I shall do that!
