China will be better off to allow freedom of press

Comments on Daniel Kliman “China: Japan’s Rising Power Conundrum”, 3/09/2009, http://www.eastasiaforum.org/2009/09/03/china-japans-rising-power-conundrum/

If the second point of the policy implications can be achieved, it will be good for everyone, the vast majority of the Chinese included.

It is in the interest of China and its people to allow a reasonable degree of freedom of press. Some people in power may be uncomfortable with that due to increased scrutiny pressure on them. But that will constrain political leaders so that they are more accountable to the people they govern and that can only be a good thing.
