My China syndrome

The Sing Tao Daily, a Chinese language newspaper recently wrote a story on me, which you can read here -- if you can read Chinese.

I can't, but luckily the story also includes some English words such as "hard core conservative ideologue."

That's how I know it's about me.

From the allies to the most fierce critics Nichols Harper in power before and after assessment

(Reporter) from dourou more times, especially the Liberal Party for the last 13 years in power, so that liberal social trend in Canada has been widely disseminated. As a minority government after the Conservative Party came to power and thus often have to face enormous pressure. On the other hand, there are a number of strong conservative Prime Minister Harper did not insist on the usual "conservative" ideas are disappointed. (National Citizens Coalition, NCC)(Gerry Nicholls)(Loyal to the Core: Stephen Harper, Me and the NCC) "All Canadian Citizens Coalition" (National Citizens Coalition, referred to as NCC) before the high-level executives, media commentators Nichols (Gerry Nicholls) in his first published book, "loyal to the faith: Harper, I and the NCC" (Loyal to the Core: Stephen Harper, Me and the NCC), with a firm belief in the conservative and former colleague of Prime Minister Harper as Harper discussed the tendency of the ruling before and after the change of thinking, as well as the conservative movement in Canada a few decades of development and future direction. 5 years working with Harper and Harper Nichols NCC worked 5 years in time, have a chance with him as a senior and junior colleagues and to work together. (hardcore conservative ideologue),(partisan, pragmatic politician)。 In his new book, the Nichols straightforward way to evaluate his understanding of ordinary people at the time of Harper, as well as expensive today as Prime Minister Harper of Canada, tracking the Canada of today's most important political figures, how by a "firm belief in neo-conservative idealists" (hardcore conservative ideologue), transformed into a "highly partisan politicians pragmatism" (partisan, pragmatic politician). In his book, he also described his former Harper by a friend, ally, Prime Minister today into the most intense, the most ruthless mentality of the critics. Nichols firmly believe that by conservatives to promote the concept of the real, the Conservative Party of Canada can support the community and voters. Harper has chosen the relatively easy route of compromise. However, those who adhere to the principles of conservatism, it should be a boycott of the elections, political parties and political harassment of these factors, focus on more important things: the concept of struggle to win the final victory.
