China’s Xi Jinping Tightens Grip on Domestic Security Forces in First Broad Purge

[Figaro]

Mao didn't want to kill Deng.
Mao had many opportunities to kill Deng, but Mao never did. Dang is confined, has no freedom, but his living conditions are not bad. He was not beaten and tortured like many others.

But he was removed from power and sent to the countryside even though he did nothing wrong. If anything, Deng and Liu Shaoqi were saving the Chinese economy after the disastrous Great Leap Forward. But when Mao saw their success and his massive failure, he decided to act against them to preserve his own power, leading to the Cultural Revolution.

I completely agree with this. Finally, Mao is a human being, he has greed and jealousy. Nobody's perfect

Xi is doing purge, but where is the answer against Huawei devastating sanctions?

 

[S10]

From defeating Chiang Kai-shek, sending troops into Korea to stop the United Nations, launching the cultural revolution to depose Liu Shaoqi, stopping Lin Biao's coup, protecting the lives of Deng XiaoPing...

Mao is a military and political genius.

Since you purposely avoided the topic of his economic management, you admit that he was a complete failure as an administrator? Here is the problem with his mindset. He sees everything as conflict and his answer was always more fight/revolution.

He knows how to obtain power, but he's completely useless once he has it. That's not to mention the stuff he did in his private life, but I won't judge him on that.

Purge is never a good word

You can call it a "party cadre quality assurance" program.

Huawei is making more money than ever. The more the US sanctions Huawei, the more successful Huawei becomes.

 

[Feng Leng]

Deng Xiaoping's life was at risk precisely because of Mao's actions! His cultural revolution directly led to the removal of Deng. If anything, Deng Xiaoping is the true hero of China. The economic/military/political/scientific power all comes from his reforms.

There is no such thing as economic progress for China when it was in a constant state of war from 1949 to 1980s. Mao defended China successfully in a nearly 30 year long struggle. That is all the achievement he needs to be the best Chinese ruler in recent centuries. Great Leap Forward and Culture Revolution are merely distractions in the big picture implanted by jealous Americans who wish China ill.

This is a western propaganda.

Typed some wumao

But his Great Leap Forward resulted in 20+ million Chinese deaths a

That's the repetitive stuff you hear from western perspective when they talk about Mao. They are angry with him because he cockblocked the western imperialist plans from turning China into another western poodle like India.
But reality is if Mao was so bad why do most Chinese still revere him?
The cultural revolution was his failure but taking into account of his past achievements, Mao deserves a 80% on his final report card. Would have been 95% if he didn't start cultural revolution.

A lot of people don't realize in 1949 China was sanctioned by every western countries.

At the time, China had no choice but to fight because war was forced upon China. In reality you probably run from a fight but the Chinese at that time were not cowards like the ones today.

Obviously if it wasn't for Mao, China would be a shit hole right now. Thank god no Chinese in pdf is running China.

You know what Mao is? Dead. You know what Deng is? Dead. Xi is neither leader, he is something altogether different. If anything, he is the best of both, the economic and developmental acumen of Deng at his best with the political instinct and leadership of Mao at his best.

 

[Beast]

Mao isn't worth dog shit. He was a scheming dictator that badly mismanaged the economy. China lost 20 years of progress under Mao's chaotic reign. China owes its prosperity to Deng's reforms.

Without Mao, there will be no H-Bomb, ICBM ,SSBN and space industry. Not even need to talk about 5 major power for the past 6 decades.

Without Mao, there will be a smaller China. But I agree Mao shall step down after the great leap failure.

That's why Mao is a genius. He knew well that China was incapable of fighting the Soviet Union at that time, so he planned to attack the Soviet Union without causing a major war between the two nations. The plan to attack Dasmanky was a genius idea, a small conflict that sent a powerful message to the Soviet Union.

Politics is war without bloodshed

Deng' son was beaten to a handicapped by red guard.

As for war with Soviet, you will be surprised Soviet is no match for China in conventional warfare in the 70s. During the zhenbaotai incident. The Soviet army totally incapable to dislodge the Chinese from their position and even loses 2 T-62 which is a sophisticated tank during that time. The Soviet were so angry and incapable of fighting off Chinese using conventional way that they start to threaten China with nuke.

Think about it, if Soviet manage to beat off Chinese in normal warfare engagement. Why would they even need to threaten China with nuke?
