And it's Mao's policies that define the CCP which prevailed into the 21st century, not Marxist thought.
Er, in 1978 Deng introduced free market reforms; and in 2024 Xi is trying to overcome the disasters that result from adopting the
free market as a master. Quote:Has your handler even heard of Marx?
I think Marx is mentioned in the Chinese constitution; certainly Marxist thought is. I would hope my "handler" is up to speed on the matter....
Quote:BTW there's a prevailing opinion among Han Chinese in China that Hitler was a great leader.
Hmm, Hitler has his admirers in the West, too...
Do try to keep up.
Xi has amassed more power than Mao had and is more isolated than Mao was. No one dares advise him on anything. He listens only to the voices in his head.
er the recent 'two sessions' in Beijing was attended by many economists addressing economic growth.
Xi listens, just as Albo listens to economists here.
Quote:Deng was toying with democracy with Chinese characteristics, after the anticipated success of his market reforms, given the catastrophic state of China when he ascended to the top.
At last, a correct statement (.... a long time between drinks....); though slipping the word "democracy" in there is suspect.
Quote:Nearly all Han Chinese believe Hitler was a great leader in a way you'd only find in the West from fringe far-right groups.
You mean Han Chinese like socialism under a strong leader?
Quote:Murdering millions of people not of the main ethnicity is not a problem for the Han. Mao did it and his image is everywhere in China, including on their banknotes - something Hitler never had.
Not Xi's or the CCP's policy.
