China's Great Wall of Silence: So Many Ma's, So Little Time. Ma Liping.


Dear Ma,
Nice to meet you, of a fashion. I've heard a lot about you. I heard that you have a Master's Degree from East China Normal University. That's from the website of the U.S. Department of Education, to which you are an advisor. Then I read that you were only a graduate student at East China Normal University. That's from the Stanford Chinese School website. So which is it Ma?

You are from Shanghai, I understand. Were you active in the Red Guards there?

I look forward to hearing from you and clearing up the discrepancy in your educational credentials.

Sincerely,
Benjamin Harris, J.D.
