Businessmen and lawyers are pleased by the behavior they see around them. And should one feel the chill of the "dictatorship of tlre proletariat" one could, until six months ago, go to Democracy Wall and be braced by calls for "science and democracy " terms with a Western ring of sanity and humanitarianism.

China's new political posture has been concocted so rapidly, and has contravened so much of what China used to claim it stood for, that one can only marvel that the Chinese people can embrace the

change. This novel identity may not express the true complexity of

Chinese political

life, but it

is

certainly more readily digestible

by American journalists and their public than the identity which preceded it.

SPLENDID ISOLATION

Like their

precursors, the

tribute-bearing missions which

arrived from afar during the Ming and Qing Dynasties to be isolated in The Hostel for the Four Barbarians, the arriving American journalists find themselves entombed in the Peking Hotel. Even during the current orgy of Sino-American friendship the Chinese still wish to maintain certain symbols of separa-

tion between themselves and those who come from "beyond the four seas.

Although the Peking

China's finest hoæl (its seventeen floors make it the tallest building

in the city), and although it affords

to downtown and such rare creature comforts as air conditioning, it is a ghetto, a sanitized

high-rise warren for aliens. Whereas Chinese officials explain the splendid isolation it affords as an effort

to provide hospitality and comfort for visitors, many foreign residents experience the hotel as an impossible place to carry on a nörmal

life, and as a formidable barrier between themselves and the world outside: a dominion into which ordinary Chinese are forbidden to enter without first being screened and registered.

The hotel's lobby, once a of cold socialist marble filled with uncommunicative Alwasteland

banians and North Koreans, now bustles with activity. Capitalists in expensive suits from practically every nation in the world mill about. Souvenir counters sell toiletries, kitsch shell sculptures, and laughing Buddhas; the bar senves Cokes and Johnny Walker instead

of the once-exclusive fare of Peking Beer and Great Wall Vodka.

China helps to sketch a landscape

in that

distant country which

at once comforting and

is

reassuring.

Beneath the surface of all such reporting on Chinese imperfection lies the suggestion, "Ah, good. At last they are willing to admit they are just like the rest of us."

As the U.S.

becomes more

and more involved in China, it is easy to let China's Maoist past

slip conveniently from our memories, as if it were an era of absolute delusion that could be cut loose like a balloon and left to drift away

into the void. And so, in the New China, reporters no longer have to wrestle with troublesome concepts like "class struggle," which set poor against the rich, "new manr" which

for a self-less utopian man motivated by the commonweal rather than self-interest, or the

called

campaign against

"bourgeois

rights," which sought finally to expunge the remaining prerogatives of private enterprise and ownership in China.

There is always a danger thaf as someone becomes more like us,

we think we understand him better.

And the Chinese people have changed, at least on the surface, allowing themselves to appear more comprehensible. But, as any journalist knows, it is parlous business to pick up those bits and pieces of

our own universe which we

see

reflected back from another culture or body politic, and claim them as objective knowledge. r
