“Who even knew that the [Chinese Democratic Party] existed?” asks Michael from The Opposite End of China, in the midst of a trip back home.

“I returned to the Chinese consulate in New York today to pick up my visa. Somehow – during the hour or so that I was waiting inside the building – the hordes of FG protesters across the street disappeared, only to be replaced by hordes of Chinese Democratic Party (CDP) protesters. Not the kind of thing I'll be seeing much of in China, eh?”
