> Deng Xiaoping took office and yet the remedy of the government at that time was to increase population growth even further and spur on the youth in some sort of whack job ideological frenzy.

Wikipedia does not seem to support your statement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiaoping#Re-emergence_post-Cultural_Revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiaoping#Re-emergence_post... Thanks.
