« Mao avait dit la politique en premier, l'économie en second ; actuellement tout est au service de l'économie. Autrefois le peuple considérait la politique comme importante, maintenant c'est l'argent. »

Is there a translation somewhere? I don't read French.

Sorry, Matt, I haven't seen one.
To read a fairly readable version of the interview, do this:
1) Go to Google translate
2) Choose French to English translation function
3) Input the article's URL http://www.rue89.com/chinatown/2009/06/24/lecrivain-mo-yan-de-la-dictature-du-parti-a-celle-du-marche
The article will appear in English that is quite understandable.
Unfortunately, the Chinese/English function is far, far away from this level of readability.
Sorry, forgot to give the URL:
