In its comprehensive analysis of a wide range of primary and secondary sources in both Chinese and Western languages, this authoritative work stands as the definitive study of the theory, implementation and legacy of the Chinese Communist Party's thought-remolding campaign. This decades-long campaign involved the extraction of confessions from millions of Chinese citizens suspected of heterodoxy or disobedience to party dictates, along with their subjection to various forms of "re-education" and indoctrination. Hu Ping's carefully structured overview provides a valuable insider's perspective, and supersedes the previous landmark study on this vastly interesting topic.

Objective To explore the association between physical activity level and abnormal glucose metabolism among a general population in China. Methods Data from a random sampled Chinese population aged 26-77 years old were collected. Participants were divided into abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) group or normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group according to 1999 WHO criteria. Total Physical Activity Energy Expenditure (PAEE), Sedentary time and the ratios of PAEE under different domains including work, active transportation, domestic and garden, and leisure-time domain to total PAEE were calculated according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between total PAEE, ratios of PAEE under different domains to total PAEE, sedentary time and AGM. Results Data from 3510 participants aged 50u00b112 years were analyzed. 48.4% participants were men. 1390 participants (39.6%) were diagnosed as AGM. Total PAEE [Median (25th, 75th)] was 3318(1494, 5081) in NGT and 2880(1500, 4976) MET-min/week in AGM group (p>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that total PAEE (1000MET-min/week) was significantly associated with AGM [OR (95%CI) 0.96(0.94, 0.99)]. Ratios of PAEE under different domains to total PAEE or sedentary time was not associated with AGM in the study population. Conclusions Total PAEE was negatively associated with AGM, ratios of PAEE under different domains to total PAEE and sedentary time were not associated with AGM in this Chinese population.

Alors que les chefs d'Etat, chefs d'entreprise et autres investisseurs se précipitent en rangs serrés pour trouver fortune en Chine, quelques rares penseurs et observateurs persistent à tirer la sonnette d'alarme : un régime non démocratique reste un danger pour son peuple - et pour la planète. Hu Ping fait partie de ceux-là. Qu'est-ce que ce fameux " miracle chinois ", demande-t-il, si ce n'est l'alliance de la dictature et de l'économie de marché ? Hu Ping ne se contente pas de dénoncer : il analyse et, comme un entomologiste passionné par son sujet, décortique soigneusement toutes les facettes de ce pays en pleine mutation qu'est la Chine.
