Some western socdems reconcile China’s growth purely to the expansion of market presence in the PRC, deeming it entirely capitalist but that that’s a good thing. They see the modern PRC as fundamentally different from Mao-era China, and not as built atop it. They usually don’t know that markets and private property existed under Mao, nor do they understand that the modern CPC upholds both Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory as critical to their success, alongside Xi Jinping Thought.
Further, they don’t realize that Deng Xiaoping Theory, while important, isn’t deemed as fundamental as Mao Zedong Thougt or Xi Jinping Thought, being relegated to “theory” rather than “thought.” It’s pure selective bias.
i also didn’t know the part about the xi jinping thought. in your opinion, is it going to guide china for the foreseeable future or is it not going to outlast the man himself? i guess my real question is, what exactly does xi jinping thought add to chinese socialist theory that makes it its own thing?
Xi Jinping Thought is what is driving the CPC ideologically for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. It’s essentially Marxism-Leninism applied to China’s current position as a rising socialist power, and retains both Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. There’s quite a lot that goes into it, but it describes how China does what they do today.
I can’t predict if it will outlast him or not, but I will say that that’s very likely. It’s enormously popular.
Ive seen three or four, same group though, theyre generally east asians who have hatred for literally every government, imagine that issues are largely thanks to old men, and despite that mostly are pro-western because their hatred only reaches so far for the west
they consider deng least evil, that he saved china from mao
i’ve never seen anyone like deng before they liked mao. incredible stuff.
