I thought Deng is person given the most credit for the modern China. The hard core Chinese patriot adore Deng above anyone else. This is the first criticism of Deng among all the flattering praises. Is Deng still your hero?
What credit does he deserve? Under his management the economy crashed in the 80's. Not until 1992 did the economy start expanding.
In 1979 Shanghai and Taiwan had the same GDP/capita: 1100 USD.
In 1990 Shanghai still had 1100 USD. Taiwan had 8000 USD.
Lol, the Chinese economy began expanding over 9% annum since 1980, just 2 years after free-market reforms began.
Under Mao, growth was 7% one year and 5% retraction the next. Lowly educated but heavily indoctrined farmers are chararacteristic of Chinese emporers; these empires eventually buckle to foreign invasion due to incompetent domestic governance. China would have had a USSR style collapse if it weren't for profiteers like Deng who governs by what he sees as the true nature of humans.
