The communist authorities in mainland China continue to spare no efforts to maintain Mao's exalted status and to gloss over his monstrous crimes, refusing to rattle at his halo, and even overseas some people are enraptured by Mao's nationalism and idealism, and blind to his basically treacherous and despotic nature.
不僅中共當局不遺餘力維護毛的至尊地位，把他的滔天罪行輕描淡寫，不能動他的神主牌，而且，在海外也有人為毛的民族主義和理想主義著迷，看不清其奸詐的暴君本質。
