of life about its importance. A
reporter who asked to inter
view managers of a Beijing
restaurant chain last month
was told they were tied up in
mandatory study sessions of
Jiang thought.
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.
