Beyond undertaking dark deeds as one of Mao’s lieutenants, Deng played a decisive role in ordering the massacre in Tiananmen Square in 1989. But Deng also unleashed the market, setting the country on the path toward unprecedented growth and prosperity that ultimately lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty.
同样，虽然远非无懈可击，但中国的邓小平也有资格成为伟大的领袖。除协助毛泽东作恶外，邓还在下令进行1989年天安门屠杀时发挥了决定性的作用。但邓同时搞活了市场，让中国走上了最终令亿万中国人摆脱贫困的前所未有的发展和繁荣之路。
