My new publication on the neo-Stalinist show trials recently revived and deployed in China:

Dear colleagues,
You may enjoy this new piece by Ariane Knüsel on Sources and Methods, the blog of the Wilson Center's History and Public Policy Program. It introduces Swiss diplomatic reports dispatched from Beijing in 1966 after the start of the Cultural Revolution.
Best,

Many visitors to our PR History website have, I know, taken great interest in and followed the link on the “links and resources” page to the many wonderful photographs from China in the 1970s that Michael Rank uploaded a few years ago. Today, sadly, I just wanted you to know that Michael went to see Karl Marx on 20 May, after 5 years of struggle with bile duct cancer.
A colleague (not a China scholar) asked me a question for which I had no answer, so I am passing it on to the H-PRC hive-mind.
He is looking for data on the gaokao scores of students admitted to universities in the post-Mao era (1977 to early 1980s). He has read (or I suggested he should read) the obvious studies in English (Unger, Pepper, etc.) but please, send along suggestions!
Many thanks!
Fabio
