China Study Group relaunched + Meanwhile at the bar: Limits of 'defending rights'

http://chinastudygroup.net/

ChinaStudyGroup.net just relaunched. The people posting on the site now range from lib-com to Maoist to social democrat, but we're all anti-capitalist and interested in understanding different perspectives on China - including Chinese perspectives. Our political diversity and our emphasis on translating and introducing Chinese anti-capitalist perspectives means there's a lot of stuff on the site that may put off anti-authoritarians - defences of Mao's legacy and so on - but if you dig around a little you'll find some interesting things, and of course feel free to criticize anything you disagree with.

At this point we're looking for more stimulation. Also feel free to repost anything from there, as long as you indicate the source, and we'll do likewise. CSG is not a centralized organization and does not have a line, but we are united by:

* an opposition to the global capitalist system,

* an understanding that China has been increasingly integrated into that system since at least the 1990s,

* a concern for the well-being of people oppressed by that system,
