I must recommend the very readable paper, China’s Communist-Capitalist ecological apocalypse. While the paper is 45 pages long (with at least five pages of pictures of the pollution, collapses of substandard, but brand new, structures, and guilt-edge waste), I couldn't put it down. And, when I was done, I had learned a lot.
Before this article, by Richard Smith of the Institute for Policy Research and Development in London, my only knowledge of Deng Xiaopeng's neoliberal hijacking of Chinese communism came by way of David Harvey's A Brief History of Neoliberalism. This article has the benefit of eight years more history and a deep knowledge of Chinese politics.
Below the deadly orange cloud of Beijing smog, I will give the allowed four paragraphs of quotes. (Cut me some slack on the four paragraphs. It's a 45 page article.)
