"Understanding the "Italian problem" means understanding the family, broadly conceived as a role model and basic organizational form characteristic of all of its primary institutions...

Italy ca be saved, by implication, only by the selfless pursuit of the common good by liberated individuals and the mobilization of the enlightened middle class of civil servants, teachers, university professors and the uncorrupted, still idealistic, young, behind the cause of a new civic culture."

from <Italy and its disontents: family, civil society, state 1980-2001> by Paul Ginsborg

I am wondering if it holds true to China??
