Quote:

"When scholars gathered at Harvard last month to discuss the political tumult convulsing China’s ruling Communist Party, a demure female undergraduate with a direct stake in the outcome was listening intently from the top row of the lecture hall. She was the daughter of Xi Jinping * * * Xi’s daughter, Xi Mingze, enrolled at Harvard University in 2010, under what people who know her there say was a fake name

"But the kin of senior party officials are a special case: They rarely attend state schools but congregate instead at top-tier — and very expensive — private colleges, a stark rejection of the egalitarian ideals that brought the Communist Party to power in 1949. Of the nine members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the supreme decision-making body of a Communist Party steeped in anti-American rhetoric, at least five have children or grandchildren who have studied or are studying in the United States.

"The only prominent princeling to address the question of funding publicly is Bo Guagua * * * Bo Guagua 'is very worried about what might happen to his mother,' said Ezra F Vogel, a Harvard professor who said he had received a visit from a 'very anxious' Bo last week. Bo’s image as a wild playboy, Vogel added, is 'greatly exaggerated.'

"Noting that the Communist Party has drifted far from its early ideological moorings, Hong [Huang] said she sees no contradiction between the desire for an Ivy League education and the current principles of the ruling party and its leaders: 'What part of China is communist, and what part of Harvard is against elitist authoritarianism?'
