There are two newly translated articles at the China Elections and Governance website. One article is a detailed interpreattion of the amended Zhejiang village election regulations and another article tells a story of a village chair stabbing a tax resistance villager to death in Jiangxi province.
According to Dr. Yawei Liu: “The two articles seem to reflect different dynamics in China’s countryside, one highlighting the deepening of the elections and the urgent need for standardized regulations and the other the same old practice of village chairs acting as henchmen for the township government.”
