That was more than 40 years ago, and he was the first leader of the party after a revolution. A lot has happened since then, so it's ridiculous to use that to predict current events. This is worse than astrology.
- nradov 3y agoApparently you haven't been paying attention to recent events. Xi has spent the last several years consolidating power. There are no longer multiple competing cliques within the CCP. He now has a level of personal control not seen since Mao. So, we shouldn't be surprised if similar patterns repeat. For one example, Xi's pointless and counterproductive measures to contain COVID-19 are certainly reminiscent of Mao's four pests campaign. History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
