>How would you modernize a country brutalized by centuries of the most savage colonialism and dominated by obscurantist regionalist feudal lords?

Deng Xiaoping is the man that industrialized and reformed China into a modernized superpower. Mao is an idiotic shitter that destroyed thousands of years of Chinese culture, killed tens of millions of his own people not due to malice but by sheer incompetence, and set back Chinese technology and learning by decades because he sent all university students to farms to farm.

If Mao was live 10 more Years China would've been destroyed completely form within.
