Sounds good! However, end-users should beware that what Xi Dada says on record, as opposed to what he says in unpublished speeches, may be rather different.

At the Beijing Oct 15 “Forum on Literature and Art Work,” Comrade Xi came pretty close to reiterating Mao’s famous words at the 1942 “Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art” — that both must persist in the fundamental orientation of serving the people and serving Socialism.

That’s code for: write positive, uplifting and politically correct texts that follow the Party Line. Or else.

Tellingly, the text of this speech has not been released to the media, to the best of my knowledge, and that makes it a state secret. A pretty reactionary, backwards-looking approach to the arts in the 21st century, I’d say. Maybe that’s why we have not been allowed to read the specifics . . .
