China seems to be in the middle of yet another domestic upheaval -the news is confusing and wrapped in jargon. What is meant by the term 'cultural revolution.' and who is behind it? Who has unleashed the Red Guards, and are they stern revolutionaries or merely xenophobic thugs? Is there a desperate struggle for the leadership going on behind the scenes?
The current situation is interpreted by RODERICK MACFARQUHAR
Editor of The China Quarterly and ANATOLE GOLDBERG chief commentator.
