Practical Manual for Party Propaganda Work -
Mar 6, 2010 - 2:16:55 AM
This 2003 Red Flag Publishing House, I purchased at the Kunming Xinhua
Bookstore in November 2007. Hu Jintao in his foreword to the book wrote
"If the masses are not guided by a scientific theory as they push
forward social change, they cannot succeed ...As times change our
thinking and understanding too must move forward...the theoretical
basis of the Party, must based on what we have inherited from the past
constantly absorb new experiences and new thinking." In the first
section of the "Propaganda Manual" Hu Jintao and others expound on the
"Three Represents" of former Party Secretary Jiang Zemin. The book, and
especially the first section, is very dull reading. The next sections
on the theory, purposes and methods of Party propaganda work are more
enlightening.

At the end of the nineteenth century, Japan had its Meiji Restoration,
while the Manchu Dynasty had its Hundred Days Reform. The former was a
success, while the latter was aborted. As a result, in present-day
Japan, the most ancient monarchy coexists with the most modern
democracy, as the rulers have yielded power to the people. The term
"constitutional monarchy" symbolizes a compromise between absolute
power and democratic rights, and the melding of historical tradition
and modern culture.
