New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ not done.CrossTempleJay 15:19, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Looking to promote this, I am unhappy about the hook. Cambridge University has nearly 20,000 students and this statement seems to have come from Zhang himself rather than a reliable outside source. @Zanhe: Could you suggest a different hook? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:57, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: I initially also had the same concern, but considering it was the 1960s, when Communist China was largely closed to the Western world, and the fact that the article was published in a peer-reviewed journal, I thought it was credible and reliable. -Zanhe (talk) 06:12, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
