To watch (1): while #humanrights are not a particularly strong suit of the PRC, moves such as textbook 'review procedures' are only going to erode #China's hard-won and richly-merited soft power credentials

To watch (2): the PRC's lurch towards a less relaxed form of command-and-control society could ultimately freak out investors and imperil #China's global leadership ambitions at exactly the wrong time https://t.co/jq2oztRdFL
