Let China sleep, for when she awakes, she will shake the world.<\/em> -Napoleon<\/strong><\/p>\n The East is Red!<\/em> -Mao Zedong<\/strong> (upon reaching the summit of Mount Taishan)<\/p>\n If capitalism is restored in a big socialist country, it will inevitably become a superpower. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which has been carried out in China in recent years, and the campaign of criticizing Lin Piao and Confucius now under way throughout China, are both aimed at preventing capitalist restoration and ensuring that socialist China will never change her colour and will always stand by the oppressed peoples and oppressed nations. If one day China should change her colour and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.<\/em> -Deng Xiaoping<\/strong> (circa 1974, quoted in Time<\/em>‘s The China Blog<\/a>)<\/p>\n
