Alvin Toffler

Alvin Toffler, Esteemed and Edited in China - washingtonpost.com:

"Alvin Toffler, the American futurologist, has a loyal following in China. He is held in such esteem that the Communist Party considers him among 50 foreigners -- including Karl Marx, Richard Nixon, Marie Curie and Michael Jordan -- who have most significantly influenced the country's modern development.
In fact, Toffler is apparently so beloved that Chinese editors -- with the help of government censors -- decided to massage his image a bit by removing potentially controversial references to China from his most recent book, 'Revolutionary Wealth.'"
