Deng Xiaoping

Deng Xiaoping was a Chinese politician who served as paramount leader from 1978 to 1992, implementing significant economic reforms that transformed China into a major economic power. Recently, his legacy has been revisited in the context of Venezuela's Delcy Rodríguez and China's military purges. The leaked video of Gen. Xu Qinxian's court-martial, who refused to attack Tiananmen Square protesters, highlights the ongoing struggles for power within China's ruling elite. Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms are being compared to Rodríguez's efforts to revitalize Venezuela's economy, while the military purges raise questions about the stability of China's leadership and its impact on regional security.
