    Brief of No.149:
    We compiled and published issue 149 of Beijing Spring Magazine. The content of this issue is rich.The cover topic of issue 149 is "The most expensive party is the Chinese Communist Party" by Mu Zhengxin. The article pointed out that the monthly expense of CCP is the total asset of Kuomintang plus the campaign cost of the 2004 US presidential election. The maintenance of any organization requires resources. The maintenance of the biggest government party in world certainly needs a lot of money.We can safely say that the expense of the CCP is far more than enough to support all the government parties in the non-communist countries in the world......
