The Communist Party has published recently a
new pamphlet on the subject of China (see below), and our General Secretary,
Rob Griffiths, who will be the main speaker at our meeting has just returned
from a meeting in Shenzhen to mark 'The
Historical Contribution of Karl Marx and the Contemporary Significance of
Marxism', which was attended by seventy Communist parties from 50 countries.
Our meeting will take place
at the Friends' Meeting House which is located behind Manchester Central
Library.
The aim of this pamphlet is to strip
away the layers of myth and misunderstanding that surround discussions on China
and its growing role in the world economy.
Some of these myths are simply the
result of an inability by Western commentators to comprehend Chinese reality
but, as we shall see in other cases, China also serves as a convenient
scapegoat for economic problems that should instead be laid at the door of
Western ruling elites.
Copies available at the meeting at £2 each, or contact us on manchester@communist-party.org.uk and we will arrange for one to be sent to you.
