Golden Mao Statue in China, Nearly Finished, Is Brought Down by Criticism

[Nan Yang]

Seems like the spirit of Mao is still very much alive.

If you read any article in English written by Chinese, unless he refers to some foreign groups, you won't find the word "Maoism" in it.

I don't know from where you are getting your facts, but your claims are just baseless.
I can refute what you said above with a "source". Below is the article from chinese governments mouth piece itself written by none other than its editor.
Xi Jinping himself explained the connections between Maoism and socialism, and the concept of maoism was put forward by Deng Xiaoping.

Xi Jinping has explained the connections between Maoism and socialism with Chinese characteristics, the concept put forward by Deng in the early 1980's.

OK. there is that one article but it still refutes your point that no Chinese writer uses the term "Maosim". Also there are other Chinese news agencies which also use it.

These are also official government newspapers.

It's not about demolishing the statue of Mao but rather the hidden underlying tone. Common Chinese people can bring down the CPC if they are dissatisfy with them.

@TaiShang @Beast @Martian2 @cnleio Do you guys agree?

Maoism is the Chinese version of communism. You know the PRC/Soviet split.

this is Maosim

You simply have all kinds of crap on China. Well who cares?

China is still not fully developed yet in economy development and its citizen development. It still needs a state to continue guide them to the correct path. If not , she will become a easy prey like Syria or Libya for the Americans.

That's all I will say.

Good find. I guess some Chinese are more under the influence of the western media nowadays. When I lived there, the phrase that referred to Mao's thoughts was simply "Mao Zedong Thought". It was never "ism"ized and never intended to be. It is more like an amendment to communism than a separate philosophy. I guess the laziness of west media and its desire of controlling the phrase led to the word "Maoism".

KMT downfall can Solely contributed to Chiang stupidity and the brilliance of CPC General.
If Chiang can take away his prejudice and put Song Liren as commander in shenyang campaign. The outcome maybe different. Du yuming plan is quite good but not good enough. Du yuming lack charisma too.

Song Liren was claimed to be better than Lin Biao.

are you denying Maoism isn't real??

whether it's crap doesn't matter to me. I'm not Chinese nor did I live during Mao's time

building a 120 foot golden Mao in a province that suffered heavily under his policies is just ironic is all.

Maoism isn't real. The term is made up by the west. This gold statue is a bit excessive and seems stupid. But some Chinese people still love Mao very much. In a free world, they should be able to worship him in anyway they like, no matter how stupid or ironic it looks to other people. But again, China isn't considered to be a free world.
