Pragmatists take up the torch in post-Deng China
Article Abstract:
The death of Chinese President Deng Xiaoping has given relief to both the political and business spheres. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Stock Exchange gained 300 points after Deng's death since the tension among businessmen and investors has already subsided. Political entities say that Deng's long death process enabled China to evade the usual power struggle that accompanies a key leader's demise. His successor, Zemin Jiang, went through the transition process smoothly, thus preventing ideological conflicts.

Breaking up would be hard to do in post-Deng China
Article Abstract:
Many political observers predict that China will disintegrate like the USSR after the death of Deng Xiaoping. However, China's homogeneous population, made up of mostly Han Chinese, may help prevent political disintegration. In addition, the country's unprecedented economic boom and the apparent absence of armed opposition groups may also help stall disintegration. One final factor that could prevent disintegration is the strong sense of nationalism and collective destiny by many Chinese.

Why Eastern Europe is a better model for China
Article Abstract:
A shift from Deng Xiaoping's economic policies based on Asian authoritarian models to a more open Eastern European social and political model is imperative to sustaining China's economic growth. The Singaporean economic model is not capable of supporting the increased societal stratification that is inevitable in China's economy.
