Ben Parankulangara's article Anatomy Of A Scandal (M Star May 6) was a most useful and informative piece, in stark contrast to the Morning Star's usual obsequious coverage of China and its ruling elite.
However I was baffled by the author's statement that "the emergence of a capitalist class in China is indisputable, though unlike in the West it is not the ruling class."
How is it possible to have an economy based upon generalised commodity production and the superexploitation of the working class that is not controlled by a capitalist ruling class?
