Chapter Five The Abandonment of Belief #

Perry Link, the former professor of East Asian studies at Princeton whose work in the 1990s was vital in exposing the massacre at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, has noted that the Soviet leadership went to great lengths to document and detail the proscriptions of the day, even publishing “periodic handbooks that listed which specific phrases were out of bounds.” The means by which the Chinese government patrolled the boundaries of speech, however, were far more subversive in Link’s view, and in many ways more closely approximate the contemporary model of attempts to constrain speech in the United States. Link wrote that the Chinese government “rejected these more mechanical methods” of censorship used by the Soviet regime “in favor of an essentially psychological control system,” in which each individual must assess the risk of a statement against what Link describes as “a dull, well-entrenched leeriness” of disapproval by the state.
