A women with the mask shows the true reality of China's natural environment at present.

Deng and his successors merely loosened Mao's straitjacket on China's economy without loosening the political straitjacket on what is still a single-party Leninist autocracy in which the police, the army, the courts, and many if not most key sectors of the economy are all under the rigid grip of the Communist Party.
