aah deng vs mao again
the reason Deng was able to bring all economical reforms and things was simply because Mao did all dirty laundry work before him, he secured their borders in true sense (nuclear power), he did all the hard stalinist work to purge their state or party enemies (definition of who comprised of these bunches is controversial, yes) as well as 'dehati' chhaps + rehab-ed opium addicts to some 'productive' works and eliminated jameendaari (again, controversial)
- so overall Deng Xiaoping had inherited a country that was like a citadel all around with seemingly little scope for foreign intervention or internal sabotage, so as an authoritarian it was far easier for him to fast track things he wanted to do, and he did so flawlessly - except perhaps making the deal with great satan's emissary kissinger over population control and thrust 'one child policy' down his folks for all tech influx and commerce opportunities
