The same with Mao, in terms of balancing good and bad policies, of their OWN time.

    Do you happen to have a source? I was just talking with a friend earlier about how the CPC explicitly acknowledges past mistakes like some of Mao's later career.

    I feel the ability to self-reflect and publically self-criticize is something that is missing in a lot of country's leaders. It's nice to read when it happens.

      Deng: Hmm… listen, I have made mistakes — yes, sometimes serious ones. But I never made them with bad intentions; I always made them with good intentions. My conscience is clear about my own life. Hmm… listen, I think I could give myself fifty percent. Yes, fifty percent would be all right.
