From Reuters, via A Glimpse of the World:
China’s Communist Party is not stalling on badly needed political reform to curb chronic corruption, but any change must not bring chaos, a vice-president of the school which trains up-and-coming party officials said.
Alarmed by rampant graft, which succeeded in toppling many imperial dynasties, the party has been searching for checks and balances and sought to instil greater accountability.
But the party is determined to avert the kind of popular protests which brought down dictatorships in post-Soviet Ukraine and Georgia in recent years.
