I'm not saying their leadership is wrong - I say they are not socialist, and New Economic Policy was also not socialist, but rather liberal. Whether the tradeoff is worth it is not up to me to estimate.

Neither did I say that Mao was a perfect example of a strictly socialist leader; it's just that Deng Xiaoping has moved Chinese economy into a more liberal territory.
