Deng Xiaoping
Data di nascita: 22. Agosto 1904
Data di morte: 19. Febbraio 1997
Deng Xiaoping è stato un politico, rivoluzionario e militare cinese.
Ha ricoperto ruoli direttivi nel Partito Comunista Cinese a più riprese nel corso dell'era di Mao Zedong, diventando leader de facto della Cina dal 1978 al 1992.
È stato il pioniere della riforma economica cinese e l'artefice del "socialismo con caratteristiche cinesi", teoria che mirava a giustificare la transizione dall'economia pianificata a un'economia aperta al mercato, ma comunque supervisionata dallo stato nelle prospettive macroeconomiche. Nel decennio tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta, da lui guidati, la Repubblica Popolare Cinese restaurò relazioni strategiche e geopolitiche con l'Unione Sovietica, abbandonando la "teoria dei tre mondi", antisovietica e di ascendenza maoista.
Deng fu il cuore della seconda generazione dei leader del Partito Comunista Cinese. Sotto il suo controllo la Cina divenne una delle economie dalla crescita più rapida, senza che il partito perdesse il controllo del Paese. Wikipedia

The strategy, as Chen Yun put it, was “crossing the river by feeling for the stones.” (Deng, inevitably, received credit for the expression.)

As quoted in Forbes, Vol. 176, Editions 7-13 (2005), p. 79
„A basic contradiction between socialism and the market economy does not exist.“
As quoted in Daily report: People's Republic of China, Editions 240-249 (1993), p. 30
Interview, Time, 4 November 1985.
Variante: There are no fundamental contradictions between a socialist system and a market economy.
Deng is commonly quoted with this phrase in western media but there is no proof that he actually said it
However, this phrase in Chinese is more accurately translated as ""wealth is glorious,"" where wealth can have a very general meaning, including knowledge, personal relationships, family: anything of value. Understood this way, the quote is not as directly controversial as a ideological/political statement, and so it is not hard to believe that he really did say this.
