SHANGHAI – The recent release of a book of speeches by former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji has refocused attention on his bold – and often highly controversial – economic reforms of the 1990’s, which included reining in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and overhauling the banking system. But the discussion has taken an unexpected turn, with Chinese media adopting a far less critical stance than that which has prevailed for the last two decades.
上海—最近发行的中国前总理朱镕基演讲集让人们的注意力重新集中到他1990年代常常饱受争议的大胆改革，包括约束国有企业和清理银行系统。但讨论发生了意想不到的转折，中国媒体所采取的批评立场远远弱于过去二十年的普遍程度。
