Video for Mao http://www. youtube. com/watch

Deng Xiaoping (1905-1997)‏ Inheriting a China wrought with social and institutional woes left over from the Cultural Revolution and other mass political movements of the Mao era, Deng was the core of the "second generation" Communist Party leadership. He pioneered "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" and Chinese economic reform, also known as the "socialist market economy", and opened China to the global market. Deng is generally credited with developing China into one of the fastest growing economies in the world and vastly increased the standard of living. Deng Video 1 Video 2

De-Maoization “The 4 Modernizations” Progress in: Industry Science Agriculture Industry Science Defense Class struggle was no longer the central focus!

Gap Between Rich & Poor Deng: If you open a window, some flies naturally get in! The new Socialist economy encouraged some competition and trade. This allowed some Chinese to become wealthy, while others became poor, as happens in all economic competition. Deng Video 1 Video 2

Tiananmen Square, 1989 More democracy!

Student activist, Wang Dan, Beijing University Tiananmen Square, 1989 With the success of some limited Chinese style capitalism, many Chinese began to seek greater freedoms. In 1989, students organized a protest calling for the Chinese government to allow more free speech and to open China to democracy. These students met in Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing. Student activist, Wang Dan, Beijing University

Democracy—Our Common Ideal! Tiananmen Square, 1989 Democracy—Our Common Ideal!

The Government Clamps Down Tiananmen Square, 1989 The Government ordered the Chinese Army to stop the protests at all costs. When calls for protesters to leave did not dispel the crowds, the soldiers were ordered to attack their own people. Journalists caught everything on film. The Government Clamps Down

Tiananmen Square, 1989 One Lone Man’s Protest

The Massacre: The People’s Army Moves In Tiananmen Square, 1989 The Massacre: The People’s Army Moves In

Many lost their lived because the open square was so packed with people, they couldn't move the crowd away from the advancing tanks. There was no where to go, and people on the edges, unaware of what was happening didn't know to move out of the way. The Massacre: A Human Body Crushed by an Army Tank

Xi Jinping, China’s new president: March 14, 2013 He was elected by the People’s Congress and received 2,952 votes for, one vote against, and three abstentions. Xi was described in Washington Post article by those who know him as "pragmatic, serious, cautious, hard- working, down to earth and low-key." Xi was also described as a good hand at problem solving and "seemingly uninterested in the trappings of high office."

Xi is described as "the kind of guy who knows how to get things over the goal line.” Meeting together in the White House last year, President Obama also said it was "vital" that Washington maintained a strong relationship with Beijing. Mr Xi said he hoped his visit would deepen mutual understanding and friendship between the two powers.

China has invested heavily in the United States and owns so many US Bonds, we can never go to war. It would cause both countries to collapse economically! Chinese would lose American payments and would have no one to buy Chinese products.
