Dengist foreign policy and the Sino Soviet split
That's not Deng that's Mao and Zhou Wenlai. Mao was even mad that Zhou was getting all the credit for reopening relationships with the west and stuff. By the time Deng was rehabilitated and given more power (by Mao btw) China's foreign policy was already set.
Read Vogel's biography of Deng it's very good
Oh wow you lemmy people are stupid
