Sorry, but most of the ass-kicking weapons were from Mao's.
Deng? He buys foreign things and never make ones themselves.
- abalashov 17y agoTrue, but I was not really referring to the ass-kicking weapons, but rather the features of the modern Chinese economic boom seen in the background (not literally - I'm talking about the all-around context and its aesthetic ligaments).
- varjag 17y agoThere were precious little weapons originated under Mao regime. They were either of Soviet manufacture, or straightforward copies of Soviet designs. The (often brilliant) Chinese engineers were instead plowing paddy fields in correction villages.
