Wang Yang Talks Reform And Opening; Zhao Leji Talks Party; Micro-lending, Big Risks?; Single's Day Home Run--Sinocism 11.13.17

Happy Monday...I have picked up a nasty cold and so today's issue is light on commentary. Consider yourselves lucky, it would probably be feverishly incoherent anyway..

There are a couple of housekeeping notes. First, please remember that your newsletter subscription is intended for a single recipient. Occasional forwarding is fine but If you would like to order multiple subscriptions please contact me directly. There is a discount for groups of five of more.

Second, the price of the newsletter is increasing on Saturday, November 18 to $15/mo or $168/year. Everyone who has subscribed before then will not see a price increase at least through 2018, including on your annual renewals next year. If you know people who are on the fence, or are considering a group subscription, now is the time to sign up before the charter rates end.

Thanks for reading.
