That's a well-written article, but of course it's not unbiased, just differently biased. Two things that jumped out to me were choosing Kerala and Vietnam as examples for a rapid response internationally (coincidentally both of them ruled by Communist Parties) and omitting the suppression of Ai Fen's interview in Renwu from the description of the treatment she received after she "raised issues outside the channels for reporting such information". It's nice that there are still people trying to prove that Communism is the better system, but it's not exactly confidence-inspiring when they feel the need to resort to selective reporting to bolster their case.
