  The Year of the Rooster

  Throughout 2005, the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese calendar, China was rocked by a series of rebellions: peasant revolts, religious uprisings, workers’ strikes, petitions by democratic activists, and environmental movements. As China opens up to the world, its people are becoming more aware, thanks especially to the Internet, and they are rebelling against the tyranny of the Communist Party. More and more Chinese are disenchanted with the growing injustice, corrupt officials, censorship, permanent surveillance, propaganda, and repression of the system. Both the educated classes and the billion peasants who have been bypassed by Party-driven industrialization are protesting loudly.

  Who, in the West, is listening to the voices of these Chinese up in arms? Statesmen and businessmen, as if mesmerized by the Party and its supposed successes, prefer dealing with it and ignoring the advocates of democracy. Such an approach is dangerously short-sighted, as it fails to take into account the reality of the country and makes a mockery of its future.

  Guy Sorman spent the Year of the Rooster in China, listening to these rebels in their quest for freedom; he let them speak during his journey into the innermost depths of China, its villages and provinces, far removed from the usual circuit.

  Guy Sorman lives in Paris and has published some twenty books on a wide range of issues confronting the contemporary world, including The Genius of India (2000); The Children of Rifah: In Search of Modern Islam (2003); and L’économie ne ment pas (2008). He is a contributing editor of City Journal and a columnist for Project Syndicate.
