Admitting the newly rich to the party seems like bowing to the inevitable. Thousands of party members already have gone into business on the side. Mercedes-driving entrepre neurs operate outside the once all-encompassing state econo my. Farmers cruise the Internet while punk rockers perform in the Chinese capital. But the party has resisted modernizing. It was not until 1999 that it amended the Chinese constitution to declare private business an “important component” of the economy, not just a “complement’’ to state industry. In July, a Marxist journal, “Search for Truth.” called his overture to capitalists a "bad tendency’’ that was creating a “new bourgeoisie” — deadly criticism in Marxist circles. But Jiang has shown him self ready to override his crit ics. He issued his invitation to the capitalists without waiting for the party to finish dis cussing the change. As for the critical Marxist journal, he simply shut it down.
