Xia Yeliang: The China Americans Don't See
A Peking University economics professor who was sacked for his political views explains the underside of elite Chinese higher education.
His political awakening came later, in 1987-89, when he studied management at the University of Toronto, visited several European democracies—and read Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose." Friedman's writing helped make Mr. Xia a classical liberal and, by the mid-1990s, a student of economics. Today he cites F.A.
