Top-Secret Access to Zhao Ziyang's Memoirs New videos DAILY: https://bigth.ink/youtube Join Big Think Edge for exclusive videos: https://bigth.ink/Edge ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why the “Wall Street Journal’s” Adi Ignatius was entrusted with the keys. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adi Ignatius: Adi Ignatius is Editor in Chief of the "Harvard Business Review". Previously, he served as Executive Editor of "Time" and was responsible for the magazine's business and international coverage. Before his career with "Time", Mr. Ignatius served as the "Wall Street Journal's" Beijing Bureau Chief. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: Question: How did you become interested in the subject of China? Adi Ignatius: I was lucky enough to have gotten in one of the first commercial tours of China after Carter normalized relations with Beijing in the late ‘70s and, I had about 6 months to prepare and I was thinking -- we all felt like Marco Polo back then -- ''How do I prepare?'' I started taking Chinese lessons and I just absolutely fell in love with Chinese and with China when I made the trip and my career path was forged: qs soon as I graduated from college I went out to Hong Kong and worked for a magazine there and within a few years was ''The Wall Street Journal’s'' bureau chief in Beijing so that was really my passion in those years. Question: How did you first come in contact with Zhao’s memoirs Adi Ignatius: The Zhao Memoir project was a tightly held secret among just a very few of us for more than a year and the person who brought me into it was my co-editor and co-producer in the project, Bao Pu. Bao Pu is a very interesting figure. He’s the son of a very important person in the modern Chinese politics, Bao Tong. Bao Tong was Zhao Ziyang’s primary aide and after the Tiananmen crackdown and killings on June 4th 1989, Zhao, who was the Communist Party secretary, was put in house arrest where he remained for the last 16 years of his life before he died in 2005. Bao Tong, his aide, actually was sent to prison, under solitary confinement for many of the 7 years that he was away. His son, Bao Pu, is in Hong Kong. He is a U.S. passport holder and became the person who was entrusted with making this project happen. Zhao, before he died under house arrest, was secretly under the nose of his captors recording 30 hours of tape—his secret journal about what really happened behind the scenes during Tiananmen: how the politburo really interacted with one another, how he tried to stop the crackdown and lost the argument and lost his job for it. He entrusted a few people to smuggle the tapes out of the country. They eventually made it to Hong Kong where Bao Pu was entrusted with getting it together and making this project happen. He needed somebody like me—a Western journalist who could help polish the language, who could write introductions that would create context for American readers who don’t know all the Chinese history, and to find a publisher. He brought me into this about a year and a half ago and we had to keep it secret because we have a fear that if the Chinese government knew about this they would squeeze Zhao’s children, most of whom are still in China and are doing business. They would squeeze them to say, ''Do whatever you can to stop this project'' and that would probably have succeeded. Somehow, we managed to keep this a very tightly held secret until publication.

(15 May 2009) SHOTLIST 1. Journalist talking to Bao Tong, the former political secretary to the late Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang 2. Mid of shelf with photo of former Chinese leader Zhao Ziyang before his arrest 3. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Bao Tong, former political secretary to the late Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang: "They might not see it but I think that as long as it is being read the impact of it will be there. As long as China has these unresolved issues, people will continue to investigate the questions. When China's problems are some day solved no one will need Zhao Ziyang's book. If people all thought one party rule was good they would shout 'Long live one party rule'. What would still need to be changed?" 4. Close up of fish in fish tank, pull out to Bao Tong talking STORYLINE: Just weeks before the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement's brutal quelling in Beijing, the Chinese leader ousted for opposing the crackdown, Zhao Ziyang, has broken his silence in a posthumous memoir. It took hours of secret recordings and years of clandestine planning to get the material smuggled out of China and translated. A Chinese version will be published later this month, although it won't be sold in China. Bao Tong, one of Zhao's top aides and the father of the book's editor, said: "They might not see it but I think that as long as it is being read the impact of it will be there. As long as China has these unresolved issues, people will continue to investigate the questions." The 306-page "Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Premier Zhao Ziyang" was crafted over four years from tapes recorded in secret by Zhao, who lived under tightly monitored house arrest for 15 years before he died in 2005. It chronicles the events that led up to the 1989 protests and details how party leaders grappled with the situation.

SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Wen Jiabao, Chinese Premier: "At that critical moment when the Party''s and the country''s fates are at high risk, the Central Committee of the Party closely rallied the whole Party and all the Chinese people together, and by adhering to the lines and policies adopted since the third plenary session of the 11th Party Central Committee, we successfully stablised the general situation of reforms and open-up in China and strongly safeguarded the course of building socialism with Chinese characteristics." 22. Cutaway on media 23. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Wen Jiabao, Chinese Premier: "A very, very important reason why we have made such a big success is the fact that we have been always upholding the unity of the Party and safeguarding political and social stability in this country." 24. Mid shot press conference STORYLINE: Zhao Ziyang, the former Communist Party general secretary who became a symbol of China''s reform era of the 1980s, is in poor health, according to a former aide. Bao Tong, his former secretary, wrote in an essay published on Monday in the Asian Wall Street Journal that Zhao is in "poor health". The exact state of Zhao''s health isn''t clear. Bao''s essay gave no details. A foreign ministry spokesman said he had no further information. The dapper Zhao was the articulate public face of the party''s struggle with social and political change in the late 1980s, fueled by the economic reforms of his mentor, Deng Xiaoping. He was purged as party leader in 1989 after sympathising with pro-democracy protesters. He''s since lived under house arrest, a half-forgotten symbol of the reform era, when hopes of political change ended in bloodshed. Out of sight and power for half a generation, Zhao still holds the potential to deliver a possible shock to China''s communist dictatorship with one event: his death. Chinese leaders already are trying to suppress demands that they declare the 1989 protests a patriotic movement, overturning the verdict that they were an anti-government riot that had to be crushed. He said the situation had been "successfully stabilised".

Mid shot people entering cemetery with wreaths 7. Wide shot pan from parking area to funeral hall reserved for Zhao Ziyang's funeral 8. Wide shot entrance to hall 9. Mid shot entrance doors STORYLINE China barred dissidents and foreign reporters from a memorial for Zhao Ziyang, a former Communist Party leader ousted in 1989 after sympathising with Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protesters, but about 2,000 mourners were allowed to take part. Motorcades began arriving before dawn on Saturday at the cemetery for Zhao's funeral service in Beijing. The government tightened security along roads leading to the cemetery and drivers without passes and invitations were turned away. The restrictions highlight the communist government's unease about Zhao's status as a symbol of an era of crushed aspirations for a more democratic system. The "body farewell ceremony" began at 9 a.m. (0100 GMT) at Babaoshan Cemetery in western Beijing - the main cemetery for revolutionary heroes. The memorial - a lower-status event than a state funeral - was closed to foreign reporters. Between 1,500 and 2,000 friends and family were expected to attend, according to sources close to Zhao's family, but no top government leaders are likely to be there. Zhao, who died on January 17 at the age of 85, was forced from power in 1989 on charges of "splitting the party" after clashing with other factions over the protests and spent his last 15 years under house arrest. It isn't clear how Zhao will be officially remembered. Relatives have reportedly rejected a proposal to say he made "serious mistakes" in the official assessment of his life, traditionally read during the burial. The family and the Chinese government are also reportedly at odds over Zhao's final resting place.
