Oh, and we know the post Mao reforms are all Deng Xiao Ping, who was brilliant and pulled China out from a shit storm. I still think he made the wrong call during 89, but I think his overall contribution to China was much more good than bad.
Which is also why I'm sad to see Xi trying so hard to fuck up the years of progress made by past greats. Anyways, sorry I'm going off topic. I'm going to stop my rambling and get back to work.
very interesting perspective, back in the day i dated a Chinese girl and man i wish i could have asked these things. sadly i was 17 and didn't have a clue lol
the real question is what is the teaching under Xi looking like.
apparently, the youth in the UK are fantasizing over a dictator and 'strong leadership' these days. no help for us

I don't know what it's like, as I was only in the Chinese education system briefly in the early 90s. I would assume it is still full of propaganda stories about how bravely we fought in the second world war and how great our leaders were back in the day. Probably a ton of praise for Mao as well. But I'm only guessing here. I have no evidence to support my claim.

These kids need to be careful what they wish for. Dictatorship is no joke, although a good dictator can bring prosperity (Singapore), but the odds favor a bad dictator, and they cause death and destruction.
