It includes an "advisory board", which was, until recently, made up entirely of employees of a foreign nation's consulate.

Also gone are the dozens of pages of attacks on Falun Gong, replaced instead by exhortations to "[g]et started to outdoor activiety (''sic'') and enjoy all the fun" <ref>http://www.cucssa.org/pub/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=94&forum=10</ref>. Whether this is a genuine realisation that Mao is dead or just a Hundred Flowers-style trap to draw out imperialists and reactionaries into the open before they are served with peoples' justice to build a new motherland on the principles of socialist labour, peasants' rights, and resistance to foreigners and petty bourgeoise capitalism is yet to be seen.
