  1. Too simple sometimes naive, Does the China success only depends on Deng Xiaoping opening the door? Did ASEAN, India, Africa or Latin America closed doors to the West? Can we stop explaining China from a foreign perspective? Chinese said "The 30-year historical period after reform and opening-up cannot be used to deny the 30-year historical period before it," so why only Deng Xiaoping is the architect? modern China is only just from 1978?? Modern China is from 1912–Present, so Sun Yat-sen is the first architect of modern China, It was he who overthrew the Manchu feudal monarchy and established the Republic! Mao Zedong to 1976 is also the most important architect of modern and new China. Foreigners should not slice up Chinese history at will, like Modern America is from 1890-Present, not just after the Cold War, two Roosevelt and Kennedy also belong to the modern history of the United States! Chinese people often say: Mao Zedong made Chinese stand up, Deng Xiaoping made Chinese get rich, Xi Jinping makes Chinese great again, Foreigners often ignore Mao Zedong's contribution but only remember Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution in his later years. But don't forget that Deng Xiaoping's evaluation of Mao Zedong was 30% wrong, 70% correct! Without Mao Zedong, China cannot be unified then PRC will be another ROC. Illiteracy cannot be eliminated, women cannot be liberated, and religion will still suppress Chinese people's mind, landowners will still block infrastructure construction, then China's social structure is another India! Without Mao Zedong’s resistance to the United States and the Soviet Union and their proxies in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Sino-Indian War, the Sino-Soviet War, the PRC would not be an independent country, Chinese will be still encircled and contained by both the West and Russia militarily economically, Deng Xiaoping also fought back Soviet's containment in Third Indochina War, the Soviet-Afghan War, if there's no military rise then PRC might be a communist colony of the Soviet Union like Eastern Europe or Mongolia, or a liberal satellite state of the United States like Europe Union or Japan, I would like to ask if American or Russian troops still stay in PRC today, Could Deng Xiaoping still control important national assets instead of selling them to Wall Street? Could Xi Jinping to counter the trade war, technology war, financial war, even media war from the West?? Even the Great Leap Forward had a positive effect, because it was an example of Mao Zedong rejecting Soviet control and choosing technological independence. Radical industrialization caused severe famine for sure, but at the same time Radical industrialization also left a strong heavy industry foundation, without dams and power plants built by Mao Zedong era, how did Deng Xiaoping take over the light industry transfer from the West?? Isn’t Vietnam always short of electricity today becasue they don't have heavy industry foundation? Remember, if China got rich it was only because Deng Xiaoping embraced free trade, market economy, so why India, ASEAN, African Union, even Latin America, they have never implemented a communist planned economy, they have always welcomed Western investment, their doors have always been open to the West, China was sanctioned by the West and the Soviet Union simultaneously from 1959 to 1979. But why can China surpass them just by opening the door? Then you have to think about what China did before opening the door! too simple sometimes naive
