Lin will be like Mao, both of them brilliant military strategist but failure when comes to economy. Both firmly believe collective farming and centralize industries.
Jiang was initially like Deng trying to act peaceful to west but when Taiwan crisis in 1996 started he was forced by American to act.
Lin was more economic than Mao, he suggested that Mao should stop the cultural revolution and started to pick on the economy. Meanwhile, he was much more pro-military industrial complex than both Liu and Deng.
I don't think Mao was really that power hungry, since none of his kids became rich. He was just too idealistic sometimes, too much idealism can also cause harm.
Jiang already picked the military when he came to power, but the 1996 crisis had given him even a bigger push. Since he is engineer, he also prefers to make over to buy.
Deng was super naive for trusting McDonnel Douglas to give China the aviation technology by setting its production line in China. The US first fooled him to dismantle Y-10, then McDonnel Douglas had breached the contract, because they got acquired by Boeing.
