but the communist party regulated the media so the public was initially unaware of the situation. in 1962 the party leadership assessed the progress of the great leap forward. she was heir apparent inspected the grim reality of rural areas and admitted the party's failure you reintroduced some capitalist policies that mao had eliminated. mao feared that this failure could be used to undermine his authority the result was the cultural revolution. shortly after the founding of the people's republic in 1949 the communist party had also set up a nationwide youth organization called the young pioneers it sought to train the new generation to become the communist leaders of the future. joining the young pioneers was effectively mandatory for school children and their red neckerchief remains to this day a symbol of pride and belonging. i was told that it was part of the national flag almost died in the blood of the motss of the revolution. my parents were very happy that i joined tonight took me on a trip to the great wall with you. when i wore my red scarf and i felt really on and. in 1

their membership in the commine knees communist party may not be -- chinese communist party by itself may not be enough to. -- but what -- the things we worry about and membership in the chinese communist party can be an indicator obviously of intent but the fact is any chinese student whose here regardless of whether they're a member of the party is also susceptible to pressure from the chinese government when they're here. some of it can be unspoken or whispered economic pressures like you're in the u.s. i'm sure you would love to have a good job when you come back. others can be stronger you're in the u.s. but you know who is still in china? your mom, your dad, not too many siblings. your aunts, uncles. so the point is i think we worry about that kind of behavioral pressure a great deal and we see it in some cases. so as i said, membership in a party may be an indicator but there are other ways the chinese have been more forceful in getting folks who are here some who came here not planning on doing anything but ended up doing things. >> a question on this side. >> go back to the c
