| Abstract | Beijing's think-tank researchers can be divided into two camps in their approach to the country's reform - the "localists" and the "centrists". "I belong to the minority," declared Hu An'gang, who is widely believed to be one of the government advisers behind the tax reforms designed to boost Beijing's national authority. Since the beginning of the year the Chinese Academy of Sciences scholar has been writing at a furious pace, as he himself admits. Having published a report on official corruption, including business ventures by the military, he has now produced another research paper, this time on the relationship between politics and economic cycles. |
