@@dp26385 You absolutely must. Deng Xiaoping is probably a far more important figure than Mao. Modern China is Deng's legacy (but also the legacy of other Chinese co-leaders as Deng did not govern alone).
@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns bull crap. Things you are saying come right out of the playbook of the usa or its lackies where they want to portray Deng as a cruseder of their free market ecconomy and denounce their ideological rival. Deng has pivotal roll in the development of China but he won't even equal to the shadow of Mao.. Even his infamous cultural revolution did more good.. if not for him the party lords would have sold off the country as inheritance to their descendants. there wouldn't be a new China it would have been fractured to varius provinces fighting eachother.. there is no Deng without Mao.
What people? What class of people? People of what class? I doubt it. I claim my right to doubt it. The survivors of Tienanmen massacre strongly doubt it. (I put a dislike just because I cannot put ten of them).
What did Deng Xiaoping actually achieve here? He stopped supportting the insurgence form vietnum and stopped supporting malayan against singapore, in exchange for what? for Singapore not doing military training with Taiwan? I actually don't understand. I have a feeling that a lot of people are praising/glorifying those leaders, without actually understand what they specially did here. From what I understand here, Deng Xiaoping is not doing anything in the sense of pragmatism. He did something that is reasonable and moral (good for overall well being of people). He is not playing politics and trying to squeeze out marginaly benefit to his country. He actually did what's good for the world, while potentially sacrifizing the geopological control of his country a little bit.
The link to the full speech is in the video description, but I'll include it here with the Q&A as well. Full speech ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9q7G3uQANn4.html Q&A ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0G9A0NVxc8.html
That a great man talking with a big smile,Mr Lee Kwan Yew.The man who made Singapore become what it is today!Respect to such an incredible politician. RIP.
it require that both side were wise and great foresight most ideology have the same destination it's just that different path a wise man knows when he is wrong and make changes accordingly.
I fully agree with a comment shown here that there is no great achievement of Deng Xiaoping without first the great achievement of Chairman Mao. China owes it miraculous economic success to both these two great men and now to President Xi Jinping who is steering China's helm with great wisdom and determination. LKY is of course the great man of Singapore.
@7:34 huge respect to LKY for confronting Deng Xiao Ping for recruiting partisans in Singapore about the same way he confronted CIA with their espionage here
Imagin you are the leader of big China. Fought wars and believe in communism all your life. And suddenly you have give up communism and listen and ask a tiny nation leader “what do you want me to do”. All because for the good of China. Humble and great leader indeed.
LKY pragmatism DXP rationalism.they both witnessed transition in society and massive movements...they both had no other options but to make decisions within a time limit.
D communists in Malaya were very ruthless n had no regard for human life at all. My grandfather was a simple farmer n he was "asked" to contribute food n provisions every month. My mother was to join them n when he said "over my dead body"they shot him n really did. My grandmother had to flee in d middle of d night with 6 children . 😢

Deng Xiaoping hoped to oppose Vietnam and the Soviet Union with Southeast Asian countries, but because China supports communist guerrilla forces in Southeast Asia, Southeast Asian countries cannot trust China. Stopping support for guerrilla forces is a prerequisite for cooperation with Southeast Asian countries
@@texassabre7214 so basically earning respect from other countries by doing the right thing... like I said, "From what I understand here, Deng Xiaoping is not doing anything in the sense of pragmatism (or business).

I have Chinese friends who would disagree with you and think highly of LKY. Though they would qualify that slightly by saying turning the fortunes of 1.4 b people is not the same as changing the lives of 3m people.
MAO AND LINCOLN Part 2: The Great Leap Forward not all bad By Henry C K Liu · See also Part 1: Demon and deity Most of the mass movements initiated by Mao Zedong were successful in changing old ideas and reshaping Chinese society. Even the Great Leap Forward, for which Mao is vilified, was successful in important areas, and estimates of 30 million deaths are wildly exaggerated. Bad weather, famines and the US trade embargo caused most of the deaths. Today's neo-liberal globalization has inflicted far more death and suffering than the Great Leap.
Mao did good unified China , Deng did great by taking many millions Chinese out of dirt poor poverty, Will Xi DaDa do greater or plunge China into wars n back to dirt poor poverty ?
Mao did good ?!?! Lol . What did he do that was good - his policies that starved 40 to 50,000,000 Chinese civilians to death , or his complete destruction of the Chinese economy , or his complete eradication of Chinese intellectuals ?
@@bigmedgeHey Murican, the population graph says that there was no possibility of 45 million deaths in China during Mao era. There was a famine, but it took around 10 million lives. Famines were common in all the developing countries at that time. I don't know why Mao is being targetted. My country India also was faced with many famines when the Brits looted and destroyed everything.
@@morningstararun6278 It's actually very simple. Denying a founding leader is the easiest way to overthrow the regime, as Khrushchev did, which undermines the legitimacy of the regime. If you really look at history, you will find that the exaggerated numbers were first said by the Americans, but the way they calculate them is different. They are estimated by the birth rate minus the population for that year. However, in a famine, there will be fewer births. In the face of famine, you cannot count the unborn population as death.
@@HaoZhang-zz2dd You are absolutely right. It was Krushchev that destroyed USSR, far before Gorbachev. If it wasn't for Stalin, there would be no strong Russia today, and even not a strong China, as Stalin helped CPC, when Nazis and Americans helped Kuomintang.
This man is dramatically impressed by Power. I spent many hours in talking with Jiang Qing and I tell you she had not such a great opinion of the small man .
