reform - China to abolish farmers' tax

Do not tamper with our six thousand year culture, China often warns the outside world. The question is what is going to happen when its own government is going to abolish a 4,000 year old tradition.
There are good reasons to abolish the tax, as well-documented complaints are around already for a long time. But really changing the system will be harder than what former president Jiang Zemin did in the second half of the 1990s when he ordered the army to get out of business, and was more successful than anybody.
