“China did not want another Mao, but the party did little to stop the rise of a more powerful leader.”
Who didn’t want it BBC? The proletariat and people of china OR pro western liberals who thrived under the dengist reforms like Jack Ma?
Yeah fucking thought so you transphobic piece of shit UK government mouth piece.
Scum media, go pound sand.
Xi’s a babe 😘
Xi delivers bois
Xi Xi he’s our man, if he can’t do it no-one can!!
shakes pom poms
And even Deng showed the west and local liberals what happens when they stop playing by the rules set by the CPC. That was Tiananmen Suqare.
And the actual killings weren’t even on/near Tiananmen Square; those were mostly just non-violent protests and an occupation of the square (with some Maoists, some misguided liberals, and some people funded by Western agencies) and AFAICT nobody was killed. People were killed at the West-funded violent riots in other parts of Beijing, but such riots would be illegal in basically every single country
Everytime they compare Xi to Mao I’m like hell yeah dude I called it
Apparently this went viral on the Chinese internet a while back

O land your soil is precious in the trench my magazine sang

China was really begging for weak rulers like in the West. Slaves to other interests and incapable of addressing the most minor or dilemmas
“Bring us back to those sweet, sweet days of the 19th century and early 20th centuries!”
Lmao Mao could never
Mao 2 electrocute landlords boogaloo
It’s funny to me that even some right wing reactionaries born and raised in the US sometimes are like ‘well maybe Mao had it right with landlords’.
What is the actual mainstream consensus on Mao in China? Hard to trust anything gathered from the West. I’d be shocked if he is at least not widely respected overall.
Pretty much what Ratto wrote in a sibling comment here. Anti-Mao voices are signal boosted to insane levels. We’re talking about a culture where people learn Marxism in school; where people know what their class interests are, and they know who looks out for them… but that also goes for the capitalists, and they know America is looking out for them, so there’s no shortage of anti-Mao (or anti-Xi, or anti-any-CPC) bleating in supply for the US machine to work with.
I’m sure. I mean over a billion people live there, you can find any opinion you want if you look hard enough.
If only there was something we could do about all them Capitalists.

In 1989 - as the Soviet Union was breaking up - China’s hopes for change were crushed by tanks and automatic gunfire.
Based, wish the Soviet Union had done this too.
they must have forgotten “a very tiny, foreign-sponsored segment of the population of” before “China’s”
Yes-
Yes
I hope so
Don’t threaten me with a good time
