So while all the focus is on Wen Jiabao's press conference (I'd love a Chinese or English transcript of it, but have yet to find one), in a lesser story, Deng Pufang, son of Deng Xiaoping and head of China's Disabled Federation, was the first disabled person to be elected CPPCC Vice-Chairman, the highest position a disabled person has ever held in the government.
Wow, more indifference from me today, despite the title (very sarcastic), I don't know what to think. Does Deng rule the Disabled Federation as his own little fiefdom and receive treatment as if he's a feudal lord, never having to come across the problems most disabled people come across in China? You betcha! Even if he wanted to affect change and despite his "important" title, could he? Probably not...
I would love to see some power for the Disabled Federation and having such a famous patron should help, but it didn't pay any divdends when Deng's father was alive and it won't now. Basically, its not news...
Remind me why I'm blogging about it? A slow night at the Rickshaw...
