It's obvious that the writer is the one who is biased.
G&M is the first newspaper devoted an entire day's edition to "The Rising of China" with many positive comments. Among its reporting staff is Jan Wong who was sent to China as an exchange student during the cultural revolution. G&M has more insights on China than you ever know of.
It's interesting that you mentioned the G&M special edition "The Rising of China" .
Here is the link for that special edition. And I still have the paper copy of that issue. I am wondering how much you ever read through and surprised that you use that to support your point of view.

For Jan wong, I don't have much to discuss with you. It seems that you didn't read as much as I did.
The following information is about Jan Wong.
Jan Wong (pinyin: Huáng Míngzhēn) 黃明珍(born 1953[2] in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian journalist of Chinese ancestry. She is the daughter of Montreal businessman Bill Wong, founder of Bill Wong buffets/restaurants. She currently writes for The Globe and Mail, a Toronto-based newspaper.
Towards the end of the Cultural Revolution period, she left McGill University and flew to China. The optimistic Maoist became one of two foreign college students permitted to study at Beijing University. She joined the Chinese Communist Party. While at Beijing she willingly turned in a fellow student who had sought her help to escape to the West. The student was subsequently shamed and expelled.[3]
Wong gradually became disillusioned with Party ideology and returned to Canada. She later studied journalism at Columbia, and returned to China for several years as a foreign correspondent for the The Globe and Mail newspaper, where among other things she covered the Tiananmen Massacre. She later chronicled her Chinese experience in a book, Red China Blues, which was promptly banned in China. After a return trip in the late nineties, she produced a second book entitled Jan Wong's China, a somewhat less personal account of social life, the economy, and politics in modern-day China.
In the late 1990s, Wong wrote a regular column, "Lunch with...", in The Globe and Mail. This column, in which she profiled a celebrity over lunch, brought Wong greater attention in Canadian journalism. Wong was widely criticised for her confrontational style in the column, but its popularity didn't subside. A selection of columns was compiled under the title Lunch with Jan Wong. Of her style, National Post columnist Robert Fulford noted: "A Jan Wong interview has all the charm of a train wreck, complete with the moaning survivors."
In 2006, Wong attracted attention by imitating the work of Barbara Ehrenreich and going undercover as a cleaning lady in wealthy Toronto homes.
Wong and Norman Shulman, whom she married in 1976, have two sons: Ben (b. 1991) and Sam (b. 1994). Shulman, an American draft dodger of the Vietnam era, had joined his father Jack Shulman in China rather than fleeing to Canada. Norman had then had been left behind when Jack and his wife Ruth left China during the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution.
