Jerome Cohen as filtered by the People's Daily

Prof. Jerome Cohen's recent statement before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China has been picked up and (in an "adapted" version) reprinted in the People's Daily English website. Needless to say, they've cut out some stuff, but it's quite interesting to see what they've left in as well -- more than one might expect. Thanks to the work of the CECC staff, we can now see exactly what they cut, added, and left in: a very useful mark-up is available here.
