The Chinese people have had their own opions on Mao, as the American people do so on Washington and Lincoln. However, some so-called cultural elites in China always keep attacking Mao as the western anti-China pliticians and followers do. It is impossible to ask these individuals to fairly judge the contributions made by Mao to China and the Chinese people. In fact, just after the PR China was founded in 1949 and the Chinese Army defeated the USA army and allies in Korean War, the attack on Mao from the western powers did never paused.
For some Chinese cultural elites, the western is always right. Since they followed the western, they were always right as well, especially regarding Mao. However, they do not and cannot represent the Chinese people, they only represent themselves--a minority group far from the ordinary people in China. |
