Abstract

Deng Xiaoping saved the regime from collapse in the summer of 1989 and played an equally important role in stabilizing it in the critical three years that ensued. He drew three major lessons from Tiananmen: no democracy, no appeasing the people, and appeasing the West. The impact of the Global 1989 and eagerness to make his reform legacy irreversible prompted Deng to embrace (global) capitalism in a more radical way. Underscoring high growth as the source of political legitimacy, Deng opened the door for market Leninist reforms at the expense of social justice. 1992 marked the beginning of the party state’s transformation from a left-wing dictatorship to a right-wing dictatorship.

After June 4, all work units were ordered to rethink the “turmoil and counter-revolutionary rebellion.” The audience was told that without those old comrades, especially Deng Xiaoping, it was difficult to define the nature of the turmoil.

In the 1980s, Deng did not even hide his suspicion of socialism, which he had once conveyed to a visiting African leader. For understandable reasons, those sensitive words were not included into the Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping. Du Daozheng (2008), “How to Look on Deng Xiaoping Today?” Caijing, 05/12/2008.

Even until the late 1990s, few economists including the most ardent neoliberal economists such as Wu Jinglian could tell what “socialist market economy” meant. There was wide special coverage of the discussion on this topic on the domestic media.

For instance, nationalism was promoted after 1989 in a bid to head off Western ideological crusade and “American hegemonism.” This, however, by no means implied that Chinese leaders would act in a realist manner in foreign relations. They used nationalism merely for the purpose of mobilizing public support, but would never allow it to derail China’s low-profile foreign policy. Nor were they to commit themselves to economic nationalism in any meaningful way.
