Having participated in panels on the Peoples Republic of China this weekend at the Left Forum, I thought I would dedicate this month’s Marxist IQ to the struggles for Socialism and National Liberation in China and Asia I would like to thank Gary Hicks, Duncan McFarland, David Ewing and Luo Xiaoping for their participation in two fine panels.
