CHINESE GOVERNMENT

Tiananmen Papers
http://www.cfr.org/p/pubs/Tiananmen_FA_Article.html
Foreign Affairs reprints excerpts from "Tiananmen Papers." "The Tiananmen Papers"—from a forthcoming book of the same title—contains the minutes of meetings of the Politburo and its Standing Committee, reports from intelligence agencies to the leaders and even recordings of Deng Xiaoping phone calls, meetings at his home, and gatherings of the Eight Elders, the extralegal group of senior revolutionaries that then constituted the ultimate authority in China. Three American scholars, Andrew Nathan, Perry Link, and Orville Schell, spent months debriefing the compiler who brought the documents out of China. They also checked other sources, where possible, and matched the documents against other evidence, including their own knowledge from years of studying and traveling in China. They and other China experts queried by them and by Foreign Affairs were unanimous in considering the documents authentic, while also recognizing that an absolute judgement is not possible given the closed nature of the Chinese regime.
