    This should be Deng and not Mao. Extremely lib, chauvinist, and ahistorical to be supporting Krushchev and presenting it as though China should have continued to acquiesce to a revisionist who literally desecrated Stalin's body.

    Deng's own words on Khrushchev tells us all we need to know on that corn-obsessed traitor to the USSR.


    Reporter: And Khrushchev?

    Deng Xiaoping: Khrushchev? What good things did Khrushchev do?

    Reporter: He denounced Stalin.

    Deng: So you think that this was a good thing he did?

    Reporter: More than good. I would say holy- for Christ's sake, more people were killed by Stalin than by the whole of the Cultural Revolution put together!

    Deng: I am not sure about that. Not sure at all. Anyhow it's impossible to make such a comparison.

    Reporter: So you prefer Stalin to Khrushchev in any sense?

    Deng: I just told you that we shall never do to Chairman Mao what Khrushchev did to Stalin!

    Reporter: And what about if I answer that in the West you are called the Chinese Khrushchev?

    Deng Xiaoping: ( laughs very loud) Listen, in the West they may call me as they like, but I knew Khrushchev very well, I had to deal with him for 10 years, personally, and I tell you that comparing me to Khrushchev is a stupidity. Khrushchev only did bad things to the Chinese, Stalin instead did something good for us.

    Shortly after our People's Republic was founded, Stalin helped us sincerely in establishing or modernizing the industrial complexes which would serve as the basis of Chinese economy. Of course, such helps were not offered free, we had to pay for them, but, when Khrushchev came to power, everything changed. Krushchev tore up all the agreements between China and the Soviet Union, all the contracts that had been signed during Stalin's time. Hundreds of contracts- Oh, this discussion is impossible! Let's do so: You keep your view, I keep mine, and we stop talking about Khrushchev.

Maybe go to some more appropriate for discussion community, bring in your undouptly great understanding of history and theory and citations and own them there ?
