Abstract

On August 15, 1986, >i>People's Daily>/i> published an article by the well-known and reform-minded philosopher Su Shaozhi. In this article Su dealt at length with the structural and subjective dysfunctions of Chinese socialism and attributed such failings to remnant "feudal influences.">sup>1>/sup> Su's undoubted motive in suggesting this was to critique the prevailing orthodoxy established barely two years earlier by Hu Qiaomu in his now famous text >i>Humanism and Alienation?>/i> In this text Hu had suggested that, at least in part, the forward movement of Chinese socialism had been slowed, if not altogether halted, by negative influences imported from Western capitalism. Su, then, in suggesting that China's road to socialism may have been blocked by factors internal to China rather than imports from Western capitalism, offered a radical critique of this prevailing orthodoxy.
