An interesting article has managed to restore some of my faith in the Chinese government. I've always felt that it would be a slow process for the political situation in China to improve, but had confidence that it would slowly (but firmly) move forwards. From the article:
"History demonstrates that only a totalitarian system needs news censorship, out of the delusion that it can keep the public locked in ignorance", the group said in the letter, according to Reuters news agency.

Those signing the letter include Chairman Mao's former secretary, Li Rui; the former editor of the Communist party's own mouthpiece, People's Daily, Hu Jiwei; and ex-propaganda boss, Zhu Houze.
Ironically, the letter was signed on February 2nd but only publicly released on February 14th...
