Deng Xiaoping (1905-1997)
Inheriting a China wrought with
social and institutional woes left
over from the Cultural Revolution
and other mass political
movements of the Mao era, Deng
was the core of the "second
generation" Communist Party
leadership. He pioneered
"Socialism with Chinese
characteristics" and Chinese
economic reform, also known as
the "socialist market economy",
and opened China to the global
market. Deng is generally credited
with developing China into one of
the fastest growing economies in
the world and vastly increased the
standard of living.

“The 4 Modernizations”
Progress in:
► Agriculture
► Industry
► Science
► Defense
Class struggle was no longer the central focus!
Gap Between Rich & Poor
Deng: If you open a window, some flies
naturally get in!
The new Socialist
economy encouraged
some competition and
trade. This allowed
some Chinese to
become wealthy, while
others became poor,
as happens in all
economic
competition.

Tiananmen Square, 1989
More democracy!
Tiananmen Square, 1989
With the success of some
limited Chinese style
capitalism, many Chinese
began to seek greater
freedoms. In 1989,
students organized a
protest calling for the
Chinese government to
allow more free speech and
to open China to
democracy. These
students met in Tiananmen
Square in the heart of
Beijing.
Student activist, Wang
Dan, Beijing University

The Government
ordered the
Chinese Army to
stop the protests
at all costs.
When calls for
protesters to leave
did not dispel the
crowds, the
soldiers were
ordered to attack
their own people.
Journalists caught
everything on film.

moved in, and over, Chinese
citizens.
700 – 3000 Chinese people
died in the Tiananmen

Xi Jinping, China’s new
president: March 14, 2013
He was elected by the People’s
Congress and received 2,952 votes for,
one vote against, and three abstentions.
Xi was described in Washington Post
article by those who know him as
"pragmatic, serious, cautious, hardworking, down to earth and low-key."
Xi was also described as a good hand
at problem solving and "seemingly
uninterested in the trappings of high
office."
Xi is described as "the kind of guy who knows how
to get things over the goal line.”
• Meeting together in the
White House last year,
President Obama also said it
was "vital" that Washington
maintained a strong
relationship with Beijing.
• Mr Xi said he hoped his visit
would deepen mutual
understanding and friendship
between the two powers.
China has invested heavily in the United States and
owns so many US Bonds, we can never go to war. It
would cause both countries to collapse economically!
Chinese would lose American payments and would
have no one to buy Chinese products.

Industrialization has not
brought Human Rights
• China has one of the worst Human
Rights records of any 1st world country.
• Today we will read an article (edited)
from Human Rights Watch, a group
dedicated to reporting on human rights
abuses around the world.
• Directions: As you read this article,

Government limiting or denying the
