Because "newborn" has spoken out the meaning of "are born."
What do you say?

RFI: Seven Newborn Opposition Forces Are Born In China

The path to be taken for Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang has
become a focus of pubic attention in China and overseas.
Reportedly, China's media professionals think that
the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) leadership seems
to be taking a road to National Socialism,
as Nazi Germany did, under Adolf Hitler.
In the past 10 years, the CCP's violent suppression
has given rise to seven newborn domestic opposition forces.
China, in reality, has gotten bogged down in heavy crises.

Li Weidong, ex-president of China Reform magazine,
recently tells Radio France Internationale (RFI) that
the political system is the root cause of China's problems.

Li points out that the CCP hasn't really
launched its promised reform.
Instead, it gets used to using violence
to achieve "stability".
However, the approach has made Chinese society
a pressure cooker of resentment.
This has engendered seven new opposition forces
in the last 10 years, this is serious trouble, says Li.

The category covers the following seven opposition forces:
1. several tens of millions of landless peasants;
2. demobilized soldiers; 3. religious dissidents;
4. resistance forces in frontier minority areas;
5. large numbers of petitioners, provoked by forced
demolitions, judicial injustice, and laid-off workers;
6. underemployed college graduates;
7. intelligentsia.

Scholar of Chinese history, Li Yuanhua: "The CCP's
tyrannical persecution has victimized the masses.
The public has now come to awaken, with a growing
disobedience, and a will to resist this tyranny."

Shenzhen-based columnist, Zhu Jianguo, comments.
Since 1999, the CCP has increased media control.
This is a contributing factor that has given rise to
new opposition forces, he says.

Zhu Jianguo:"It is now important to lift the ban on media
and the internet, and to allow freedom of expression.
But on the contrary, they now want to
control micro-blogging even more tightly.
All of these actions are only going to
speed up the demise of the regime."

RFI comments that, after Xi Jinping took over as President,

the paths of development in political and
economic areas have been taken differently.
Premier Li Keqiang has vigorously promoted
liberal market reforms.
Whilst politically, Xi has indulged in "Chinese Dream"talk,

The"If the Shoe Fits"speech,
and the "Three Self-confidences"theory.
His advocacies have shown the character of
statism and nationalism.
This means that a "Xi-Li System"
has not yet been formed.
It also illustrates clearly that Xi's reform
idea doesn't contain universal values.
The goal of his political reform is only to "reinforce
the Party's leadership", according the RFI report.

Zhang Jian, researcher on China issues, says that the
regime has kept on varying the so-called "political reform".
If the CCP's dictatorship is premised, its "political reform"
will never be feasible, he remarks.

Zhang Jian: "It won't work no matter how Xi
puts forth his arguments.
The political movements launched by the CCP for
decades in China can all be called political reforms.
One of them, the Cultural Revolution,
was just another form of political reform."

Li Yuanhua agrees that Xi Jinping's only way out is to
disintegrate the CCP, and to thus follow history's trends.

Li Yuanhua: "It's futile to make an effort to keep CCP rule.

So it will be fruitless to battle with privileged groups
for political power or for political trade-offs."

RFI also reports that Xi Jinping hopes that CCP rule
shall continue and even stabilize in the next 10 years.
RFI calls it "a path of the red empire",
featuring statism, with nationalism.
This is the same road of National Socialism,
adopted by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Li Weidong warns that history shows us that
it is a dead-end path.
Doing nothing about political reform will
worsen China's economic crisis, he says,
and China may well face
progressively tougher times ahead.

You really seem a bit hung up on removing words. English is wordier than Chinese. In general I'd say if they're there in the first place, leave them there. You could just say "Seven New Opposition Forces are...." however.

Could be. I had assumed an "opposition force" to be someone born into a family destined for resistance to the regime

Why thank you again Ori, it's good to get a bit of support in this miasma of deflatory responsiveness

Jack, you chastise Ori for asking about making language flow smoothly - I can't remember if you are one of the "redundant/superfluous" crowd. You then speak to abolishing the positions of editor and writing teacher ...

then you leap into your editor mode.

Connnffffuuuusing!
