    I am not able to locate any of the zoom links for our weekly meetings. This happened last week as well.

    Thank you for the response. Maybe it would be safe to say that terms such as "socialism" and "communism" are still utilized by the Party today but the definitions of these terms have morphed somewhat

    The question of what exactly China's ruling governmental paradigm is in the 21st century is one that I have frequently contemplated over the years while living in China. I was particularly struck by Tim Heath's 2015 talk at the 15:00 mark where he says the CCP "essentially abandoned" their leninist-marxist-maoist ideology as a guiding principle of governance. I have noticed that China's "socialism with Chinese characteristics seems to be a sort of social nationalism, or national socialism. Could you comment on this? Thanks.

    Hello Everyone, 

    I have spent a number of years living in China and am currently in the U.S. trying to return to China with my family. My wife and I own a small education company in Guizhou, China and I often teach students Chinese history, etc. in English. I am looking forward to this seminar.
