This article's neutrality should be questioned. The first two portions are good breakdowns of the history of the People's Republic of China, but portions 3 and 4 read like a party official wrote them in order to create an "official" history of Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao's time in office. While the PRC has made some admirable, astounding economic gains in the past 20 years, this article makes little to no mention of the huge problems the government now faces as it tries to reform the economy while maintaining ultimate control. Some of the things not mentioned - the rampant corruption of local officials, particularly in rural areas; developers grabbing farm land with no compensation to the farmers - this has led to numerous riots; the flood of migrant labor into the cities; the damage China's rapid development has done to its environment - the Yellow River runs dry part of the year and smog envelops the cities; the tension between the government and the people of Hong Kong; the supression of Falun Gong. These are just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not saying this should be an anti-Communist article. I'm just saying that it should reflect both sides of the story.
