As is the case with the Chinese population, we are meant to take away from this a sense of abject horror and fear: an understanding that this regime is capable of anything. And while the Chinese people, locked within the fortress created by thirty years of Communist rule, must grovel in fear to this insanity, we are now no less immune. We may not live under this Lesser Mao, but we could as surely be the victims of his madness should the whim strike.
