When Chairman Mao died in 1976, he left China in chaos and poverty. He was succeeded by Deng Xiaoping, who overturned Maoism and taught the Chinese to love capitalism, creating special investment zones for the West. But Deng’s crash course in capitalism went wrong when inflation grew and workers lost jobs. By 1989, China faced disaster. Now, 20 years after the tragic events in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, this programme reveals an interpretation of the motives of the demonstrators that may well overturn the conventional view in the West. The demonstrators did not begin by demanding democracy. Corruption, inflation and the hardship caused by economic reforms drove students and workers to confront the government and the army. Students went on hunger strike, and troops killed more than 2000. Deng Xiaoping gave the order to fire, but his ideas prevailed. This film argues that Deng’s capitalist revolution created today’s China.

@ltq19900310: With big size like China, more look like a Soviet Union!!!!
There was a famine in China and Jimmy’s peanuts saved a lot of people. Just like Ark. and Oklahoma crops saved thousands of N. Koreans, Vietnam, and Cubans. And so the American politicians repaid in kindness!

Deng would feel familiar when he traveled to the US. He spent 4 years in France whey he was like 16 years old
I am sick of hearing people pronouncing Deng as “Dung”.

That guy with the glasses dancing looks sooo happy
…Looks familiar to me.Is he perhaps that guy who(prime minister of china) ordered martial law in 1989 in Beijing which led to TIenamen masacre?
@holyseraph
Yeah, basically, the floor had a giant outline of the boundary of Qing China… and I couldn’t recognize the characteristic “bite” out of China’s central north east because it was covered by mongolia. lol
@holyseraph
I agree with you.
You know, I walked in Boston’s Chinatown the other morning, and I looked at this marble floor in front of a famous old Dim Sum restaurant. It was shaped like a huge circular BLOB.
Guess what it was? It was the outline of China. Must be pre-1945 drawing.

The problem is more complicated than that. The RoC’s claim on out Mongolia came after they were driven off the mainland. Originally outer Mongolia was separated from China under RoC’s rule. Ultimately, neither RoC nor PRC really like the fact outer Mongolia was seperated from China, but China really can not afford to over-antagonize USSR back then. Essentially, RoC can claim it today because their claim is just claim while PRC have to worry about instigating a direct conflict.
