Thank you for opening up our minds on part of the Chinese history. Your stories are very interesting and helpful for us in the west.

I recommend for anyone interested in modern China's economic philiosophy, pick up a book titled "China's Socialist Economy" by Xue Muqiao and find that Deng's economic policies were actually in line with the economic principles laid out in Stalin's book "Economic Problems of Socialisn in the USSR". The main principle being that the relations of production needs to match the social character of the productive forces. If Ezra Vogel wants to say they're a "China expert", he should be able to go into detail how China synthesized Marxism-Leninism-MaoZedong thought to lead to their market reforms but he fumbled his first question from the audience. The modern PRC are committed marxists up to this day and will continue to do so.

Mr. Deng, you are dearly missed in China. We need another Deng-like statesman to steer China through today's tough times.
