hey, I'm genuine. I'm not fake. People need to take some responsibility on how they react to what people say online. Don't blame me if you get all stirred up and emotional about what I say.

@cungcung785 i agree to all that. but that's not enough either. it's easy to wish everyone well with good intentions, but if you adopt bad policies, you kill millions of people. mao made some very bad economic policies.

@thundaga99 Not enough. You need to care for the welfare of all your countrymen. You need to agree that everybody deserve affordable life. You also need to agree that poverty is everybody's problem, not just the state's.

hi there. mao zedong wouldn't have allowed billionaires to even exist in china. he was a true socialist. the current "socialists" are very weak. they should kill all the billionaires asap to save china. they fact that they don't will make mao zedong very angry indeed

@RnaudBertrand very lazy, low iq diplomacy. it's quite sad

European diplomacy in 2026 (watch the video). And yes, this is real: it's the official account of the EU delegation to China.

@cungcung785 well, just asking. i want a market economy but I don't want the government captured by special interests. I am a socialist?

@thundaga99 We don't live in school, do we ?

@cungcung785 no. he was very smart. mao is still one of the most important figures in china's history. but he made some big mistakes. that's okay to say that. the CPC said itself in 1981.

@thundaga99 You underestimated Mao's intelligence too much.

I agree that China is a market economy, but the thing is, Mao Zedong hated markets. He was a Marxist, and a big part of Marx’s thesis was that markets are bad because they commodify labor and are inherently anarchistic. Mao and others who called themselves Marxists pushed for strict central planning of the economy. Deng, on the other hand, went in the complete opposite direction! When Mao called Deng a capitalist roader, he didn't mean that Deng wanted to let capital run China, he opposed Deng merely suggesting to introduce market reforms.

@cungcung785 ok. but that's not textbook socialism. agree?

Mao Zedong is dead 50 years ago. The condition of today's China is different from five decades ago. The torch had been handed over to Deng. And from Deng to Jiang, Hu and now Xi. Mao and his all successors are all socialists. Because all of them believe their goal is to improve the life quality of their people. Not for profit or interest of certain group of people.

@bryancsk for a second there i couldn't pronounce xiongan. i can see the importance of the apostrophe in xiong'an

Newspaper articles about Xiongan are whiplash-inducing

@bhulngmnde56812 Back in the 50s and 60s, when Mao was in charge, millions of Chinese people died from famine. So what right does he have to be upset about China in 2026, where, despite a wealth gap and some very poor people, at least millions aren’t starving to death?

@thundaga99 其实我觉得他老人家并不会高兴，贫富差距依旧还有，教育依旧很差还需改变，大部分人的工作时间都很长，休息时间也并不多，只能说还有很长一段路要走。至于小平同志的话。我觉得我没什么好说的，有些事情不知真假，还是不要乱下定论。

Admittedly, I did a lot of trolling yesterday. I’m not sure what Mao would really think... maybe he’d be quite happy. But, in all seriousness, how do you reconcile what China is today with what Mao Zedong did and believed back then? You could argue he might have changed his mind, but his ideological extremism peaked before his death, so it’s hard to expect that. If he returned as his younger self, perhaps he’d be more pragmatic, after all, he worked with the KMT to defeat the Japanese. Still, I find it amusing that people think I’m absurd for suggesting Mao might not have liked what happened after he died, considering he twice purged Deng Xiaoping as a "capitalist roader." Heck, he even purged Xi Jinping's dad for pretty much the same reasons... what do you think Mao would think of his son who's at the helm now?

You should have stronger opinions on things. It's good to argue to find the truth. Yes, some younger Chinese (and non-Chinese) may have a romanticized view of the Cultural Revolution since they never experienced it firsthand, seeing it instead from the comfort of a much better China today. Also, the Cultural Revolution has a certain cool aesthetic appeal to it.

@thundaga99 至于是不是和毛路线产生了偏差，这我就不清楚了，或许是，或许不是吧，反正也有很多人因这种事情吵。

Hi. Overall, I think the Cultural Revolution was a very unfortunate period. Beyond the direct harm it caused to people, including deaths, it also damaged Chinese historical heritage and held China back for those ten years. The CPC itself recognised this by the 1980s, denouncing the Cultural Revolution and criticising Mao and his more cult-like followers for their extreme leftism. At the same time, I do think it probably took something as disastrous as the Great Leap Forward and the extremism of the Cultural Revolution to create the conditions for proper reform. As for reform and opening up, it seems obvious to me that it was the right move. If China had not taken that path, it may well have collapsed like the Soviet Union did in the 1990s. So I think history shows Deng made the right call in winding back Mao’s economic policies. Deng’s clever move was redefining socialism as “not being poor” under the banner of “socialism with Chinese characteristics.” That allowed him to bring market-based reforms under the socialist umbrella (which obviously wasn't textbook socialism) while still maintaining on some of Mao’s political ideas, especially one party rule, which I think has served China very well compared to western style democracy. The problem is that many people outside China focus too much on the “socialism” part, when they should probably pay much more attention to the “Chinese characteristics” part. Anyway that's my take. thanks

@thundaga99 我有点好奇，你们是怎么看待改革开放和文化大革命的？

One strange thing about the pro-China camp when it comes to Deng Xiaoping is that they praise him for his military crackdown but rarely mention his economic reforms and opening up, which are largely responsible for China’s current state. Instead, they credit China as the realization of Mao Zedong’s socialist dream, even though Deng’s reforms contradicted Mao’s economic policies in almost every way. It’s quite odd, really.

@Pyrotirade @CarlZha why are you so scared of china? don't buy anything from china and just let it collapse then. you win. haters are just small dick losers with no life.

@thundaga99 @CarlZha So now the next question, whats the ulterior motive for china's growth? Since I see alot of you shills compare to what you have that america doesn't. They build up their nation for themselves too.. now look at them.. building grand friviloties to give you reason to war

Deng Xiaoping did nothing wrong

@Heping97 @shzhshxh27236 @CarlZha sorry, your posts are littered with contradictions. Mao Zedong was at the helm during the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution that you just said killed countless people. Why would Mao curse me? I wasn't in charge at the time.

@thundaga99 @shzhshxh27236 @CarlZha 兄弟你像个恐怖分子，死多少人不重要，毛泽东听了你这话能从水晶棺里蹦出来指着你鼻子骂你信吗。原教旨社会主义也不是毛泽东思想啊😂你想搞原教旨社会主义怎么不去巴黎公社呢

@hypersaiyangoku @CarlZha good point. i would advocate the elimination of both southern and scouse accents. disgusting accents.

@thundaga99 @CarlZha 傻逼，why don't you tell people to stop speaking English with a southern accent or Scouse accent

Deng Xiaoping speech to People's Liberation Army after the Tiananmen protest. He seemed to addressing the Tank Man footage. I translated from Sichuanese and added English subtitle

@Heping97 @shzhshxh27236 @CarlZha It doesn't matter how many people were killed during the cultural revolution or the great leap forward. what matters most is true socialism. not the fake socialism of today. Mao, Marx, and Engles will be angry with China today, it has too much market capitalism. sorry

@thundaga99 @shzhshxh27236 @CarlZha 所以呢，意思是贫穷就是社会主义咯，那可是真让马克思列宁失望啊😂农业集体化是❤️农tv你不知道😂文革10年死了多少农民，大跃进又干死了多少农民😂要不是小岗村大包干搞出来农村人绝户了就😂你看不到脱贫攻坚的成果？现在农民所享受的现代化生活比以往不优越？你最好实地来中国考察一下农民待遇的区别😂

@Heping97 @shzhshxh27236 @CarlZha you don't understand. china's growth after 1978 happened because deng xiaoping removed mao zedong collectivisation of farming and also introduced special economic zones. that's very bad. that's against mao zedong thought!

@thundaga99 @shzhshxh27236 @CarlZha 依旧偷换概念，人家问你经济你闭口不答。你要知道四条蛆是没有掌握军队的😆军队在文革也是中立的😆你喜欢的蛆上了位夺取军队控制权你看那些军人会不会以“保卫毛主席的革命果实”闹反叛直接给中国倒退回军阀割据😆外国人还真是容易动动嘴皮子

it just makes sense. if you have people speaking all kinds of unintelligible dialects in the same country, it creates barriers and division. one thinks they're better than the other. very bad. a single mandarin is best, preferably dongbei without any "er" sounds. long live the prc

@thundaga99 @CarlZha why?
