Comparison between meiji japan and deng reformist era

[@chagoriver7159]

How come there's only footage of the guy confronting the tank but not of the hundreds of dead?

[@neilsumanda1538]

What wud china be today, if those students managed to change the government.. Deng Xiaopeng has the same thought of economic reform. But he waited for the perfect moment when those idea is feasible..

[@pix3m130]

There is video and photo evidence of dead SOLDIERS around Tiananmen but none for dead students or protesters. That's because soldiers never performed a massacre. If anything, the massacre was against soldiers and that the incident at Tiananmen square was an attempted coup.

[@chagoriver7159]

@@pix3m130 there were dead people only not on the square. indeed students murdered soldiers too and there was a response. dont deny that, doesnt help china nor the truth. indeed western narratives about the incident are false.

[@siberiantiger3917]

How come there are only pictures of Donald Trump mugging for the camera but not the 1 million dead Americans who perished under his disastrous COVID policy?

Mr. Deng, you are dearly missed in China. We need another Deng-like statesman to steer China through today's tough times.

[@shenghe9861]

[@MrCmon113]

Doesn't Xi continue within Deng's framework?

[@toxicfem69]

if only xi jinping was president

[@muhammadhaikalpermanaatmaj73]

China without Deng would be just another....bigger North Korea: Poor, pitiful and miserable. His pragmatism was really amazing indeed

Let's not forget that Deng was a protégé of Mao who later took his own path, just like Mao also earlier deviated from his own mentors as regards to how to liberate China

[@baiqing]

0:40 come on that was a good joke

[@pix3m130]

I recommend for anyone interested in modern China's economic philiosophy, pick up a book titled "China's Socialist Economy" by Xue Muqiao and find that Deng's economic policies were actually in line with the economic principles laid out in Stalin's book "Economic Problems of Socialisn in the USSR". The main principle being that the relations of production needs to match the social character of the productive forces. If Ezra Vogel wants to say they're a "China expert", he should be able to go into detail how China synthesized Marxism-Leninism-MaoZedong thought to lead to their market reforms but he fumbled his first question from the audience. The modern PRC are committed marxists up to this day and will continue to do so.

[@dingyipu9372]

In fact, China and the United States have similar systems, but the progress bar of the United States is ahead of China. The path China is taking now is basically the same as the trajectory of every dynasty in its history.

[@JakubKieblesz]

Bro, I doubt that China is anywhere close to socialism, especially considering the fact that China's economy is mostly privately owned (about two thirds).
