Quote - Deng Xiaoping
If capitalism is restored in a big socialist country, it will inevitably become a superpower. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which has been carried out in China in recent years, and the campaign of criticizing Lin Piao and Confucius now under way throughout China, are both aimed at preventing capitalist restoration and ensuring that socialist China will never change her colour and will always stand by the oppressed peoples and oppressed nations. If one day China should change her colour and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it. -Deng Xiaoping

And?
Just thought it was interesting.
Well, I suppose it is interesting in the sense that Deng was a social democrat operating in a communist country and a leader who feared that China would become imperialist, like the West. I think he was fairly genuine, though, especially because of his numerous exiles and his coming to power right after Mao's Cultural Revolution.
