Yep, that's about it. Deng used the NEP as a model (which wasn't great, but they were able to get them under control after the program was ended). Whereas Gorbonzo decided to allow them to regain political capital and even appointed them to important positions in the government. Then sided with them against the people.
Deng never sided with them and maintained the dominance of the CPC over the capitalist class. Which is like the most basic tenant of ML theory, the use of the revolutionary state as an organized oppressive force directed at capitalists instead of workers.
