“Observe calmly; secure our position; cope with affairs; hide our capacities and bide our time; be good maintaining a low profile; and never claim leadership” Deng Xiaoping
@kikyaaakun
It’s always the humble and quiet one can survive and strive during chaotic time. What I admire about Deng is he experienced the worst decades of China, the country failed him so many times yet he still works extremely hard till the end of his life, he loves his motherland and the people dearly.
@dwchen1
Deng's greatest teacher in terms of economic policy is Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. He visited Singapore right after China opened up in 1978 and sit with Lee for days hearing and remembering his advice that he never forget : "do what's work and abandon what's doesn't". He went back home and do exactly what Lee Kuan Yew had told him.

Bummed you didn’t mention his trip to USA while Carter was President. I was a kid but recall it still. Deng wearing a cowboy hat at a rodeo.

Deng is quite an interesting guy. He is arguably the man most responsible for China becoming a true super power.
@lalahealer
Hey Simon, since you did an episode on Deng Xiao Peng. You got to consider doing one for the person who inspire him to reform and open up China. Lee Kuan Yew. The Father of Singapore!

Deng Xiaoping is one of the greatest leaders in history. Truly an inspiring figure.
@jimmywest8684
Has Simon ever done a video on Zhou Enlai? Arguably he had the greatest impact on modern China for the least amount of credit. Great video by the way.
@Menapho
Deng saved China and is the primary reason for China being the nation it is today. His getting out of China, seeing the world and caring for his people that set Deng up to become the visionary leader responsible for its successful future. He’s too often overlooked in the annals of history. That’s a shame.
@xushenxin
I have to say "He Made China Great Again" is very factual statement.
@WINDYCHUNG
When Deng took power in 1978, the GDP per capita of China ranked top 5 from the bottom, extremely poor. But today, we become the biggest competitor seen by the USA, this is incredible, we should always remember and implement the policies designed by Deng. Being quiet and always humble in the world.
@khaitran43
My country has border conflict with china during his time, but still he’s one of the best ruler in the modern world
@jerdelauren9972
Deng is one of the most important men in human history

Happy New Year to Simon, his fabulous team, and all of you other legends watching these channels!
@ionut-valerserbanat3354
Happy New Year!I hope that you will make a video about Nicolae Ceaușescu biography too.
@jackzhou4813
As a new generation of Chinese, I will always miss Grandpa Deng
@jackzhou4813
The Chinese are grateful to Deng Xiaoping, a great man who turned China from a third world country into the second largest economy in the middle class, and successfully recaptured Hong Kong and Macau, bringing China a big step closer to reunification.
@colinr1960
Just some perspective…. When Tiananmen happened, the world saw young students protesting. Deng saw Mao’s “Little Red Devils” from the Cultural Revolution who took him out of work, put him in the aeroplane position and beat the crap out of him.
