Li rightly points out that I was puzzled by the contrast between certain Marxianlike language employed by Dagongzhe lianhehui and its plea for migrant workers only to be treated ‘justly’ in the labour market. My sources of information were the group's documents and a Hong Kong labour activist in touch with the two persons mentioned in Li's letter. I can now confirm that the Hong Kong activist had met them only after Li's departure and was unaware of Li's existence. Checking the group's documents also confirms that the Marxian-like language appears only in the one Li says was edited by him, while the plea for ‘just treatment’ appears elsewhere. I thank Li for solving my puzzle to the reader's benefit.
