Mao was ignorant, and didn't know his own ignorance and thought he was an expert, so of course, severe mistakes were made. Deng was actively destroying our economy. While overall GDP remained low, Shanghai and Taiwan are comparable, all the way up to 1979. However, afterwards, under Deng's suicidal devaluation regime and suicidal import regime, our indigenous industry was almost totally destroyed.
Why was there Tiananmen Square? Why did it not happen in 1999, or 1969, or 1979, but in 1989? Because Deng's policies were so bad, people revolted. It was a product of his time, and it will never be repeated, but for that to happen, we should understand and objectively view Deng.
Once Deng was removed, even an ignorant and corrupt politician like Jiang could do things well. China did not begin to actually develop until 1992. In 1980's, we remained the exact same as India. Note how NO ONE in the West called Deng a dictator at the time, but some now are calling Hu, a dictator, despite Hu having far less power than Deng ever did. That should give you an idea of his actual loyalties.
BTW, Hua Guofeng opened up China, not Deng. Pro Deng propaganda is everywhere though so not many know that.
How can you label Deng a traitor just from those alone??? Don;t you think it's ironic that a person who is responsible for millions of death being worshiped like god while this guy who actually lay the basic foundation for China to move forward suddenly become a traitor by your definition.
As for Tiananmen square........those students are just being unreasonable and naive, you can't expect eveything to be perfect during transition, they made their point but refused to move on, what do they expect?? let the self proclaimed 20+ year old leader lead the country into oblivion???
As for the west didn't label Deng a dictator, that is totally false it's just that his negative legacy is pale in comparison to Mao. Finally in regard with indigenous industry, do you really believe China can build something ground breaking while the majority of the country basically consist of farmland? This is just my view thou.
