Fascinating! Near the end they speculate about how "political correctness" is interpreted in China. In fact the phrase was originally imported FROM China. Back in the 80s when our academics started enforcing political orthodoxy, it was seen as a result of Maoist influences, and the term was a variation on "Correct Line", the Maoist term for currently acceptable doctrines.
