China’s top communist scholar ‘stole liberal dissident’s ideas’ – Chris Gill

From the Guardian:

A Chinese professor adopted as the intellectual poster boy of the Communist party has come under fire for plagiarising the work of a dissident jailed by the government in the early 1990s.

Zhou Ye Zhong, a professor at Wuhan University, is credited with much of the inspiration behind the current leadership’s new ideological approach, with its emphasis on the “harmonious society”.
