Yesterday, we had occasion to focus this diary, which is intended to be a discussion of the most significant event of the day, on China. There, an odd statement, widely circulated, caused us to wonder about the direction China's purges would take. It also caused us to feel as if we were living in the 1960s, when enigmatic wall posters were the only available hint of what was happening in China.

Someone is about to die ‘for the State’, and all we can do is wait to see who it was.

Well, if he has, that will leave the world without significant government leaders who will publicly support Christianity. I don’t trust the man, but his positions are not altogether evil, unlike other world leaders.

You think this monster is a Christian defending Christ and all that is good?

He is evil, and is trying to destroy civilization.
