Last month a controversial op-ed by Slavoj Žižek was published in Le Monde diplomatique. Around the same time, Žižek also wrote a similar letter to the London Review of Books. In the current issue, LRB has published some of its readers' responses. As someone who was brought up in Tibet, I found Slavoj Žižek’s regurgitation of the Chinese Communist Party line mind-boggling.
This assessment is consistent with Jello's reaction that Žižek's argument "reads exactly like Chinese propaganda." No Shangri-La | Letters to the LRB |
