The Legacy of Deng XiaopingSynopsis
Did any other leader in the 20th century do more to improve the lives of so many? Did any other 20th-century leader have such a large and lasting influence on world history?
Under Deng’s leadership, for the first time in the modern era, China’s people became prosperous and the nation became strong. China had never been a global power until it became one under Deng’s leadership. In the two decades after Deng set the country on its new path, it became the second largest economy in the world and, for the first time in history, it has become a predominantly urban society. How did Deng achieve this?
Many high officials believed in reform and opening, but it was Deng who provided the political leadership that made this possible. He had become a dedicated communist revolutionary. In 1973-75, under Zhou Enlai’s tutorship he advanced his knowledge of foreign policy. After Zhou and Mao died, no other leader had the knowledge, range of contacts, and skill to match Deng’s ability to deal with foreign leaders. Beginning in 1978 he developed good relations with all the major countries, enabling China to open wide and send large numbers of students to the outside. He used these contacts to enable China, unlike the Soviet Union, to learn quickly from everywhere and to bring foreign science and technology to China. He was bold in learning from other countries.
