We know there’s a current of social conservatism in the CPC (which I agree is bad), so even if that part of the article is true, it’s hardly news. That aside, I hardly trust this magazine not to warp the facts.

You can always look for other sources. His book might even be available translated somewhere. But like I said, we know the social conservative current exists, and even if this guy is a big promoter of it, he’s not the only one. I don’t think it’s that interesting unless he actually is the great man in the shadows like they imply, which he obviously isn’t.

This is pretty clearly an article which just focuses on one highly-placed member with objectionable opinions, and tries to cast him as dictator of all policy.
