ACTIVISTS held a packed meeting at the Marx Memorial Library on Monday night to consider the “evolving significance of the Chinese revolution.”
The meeting, jointly organised by the historic library, the Friends of Socialist China and the Morning Star, heard from Ken Hammond, an activist and professor of east Asian history at New Mexico State University.
Prof Hammond said: “The Chinese revolution didn’t just flip over into some eutopia of the working class. It’s a struggle. It’s going to take a long time.
