...walls of universities and factories in China's major cities, for the past month, have been plastered with posters denouncing a "foremost capitalist roader" in the party. From the start of the campaign, it has been apparent that the unnamed target was Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing, who until recently had been regarded by Western Sinologists as the most plausible successor to the late Chou En-lai as the No. 2 man in China. Last week for the first time, posters in Peking, Shanghai and Tientsin denounced Teng by name. He thus joins a very select group...
...principal target of the radicals' campaign was First Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing, the man most Sinologists had believed would succeed Chou as Premier. Last week a series of wall posters appeared at Peking University, as well as universities in Shanghai and Wuhen. The posters, mentioning no names, virulently attacked "an old capitalist reader," as well as "people who say ideology is not important and the only thing that matters is economic progress." The references were clear. Teng had been denounced as a "capitalist reader" during the Cultural Revolution, and he is known...
...renewed radical campaign also does not necessarily mean that the wily, tough Teng Hsiao-p'ing is finished. Obviously his chances of becoming Premier are dim at best; but he still holds more top posts than any other official in China-First Vice Premier of the government, Vice Chairman of the Communist Party and Chief of Staff of the Army.

A majority of China's powerful regional military commanders are believed...
...there's an aphorism paraphrasing Mao's thought that goes, "If you have something to say, speak up; once you have started, say it right to the end." Nonetheless, renegades don't have it easy in The People's Republic. During the Cultural Revolution of the late '60s, Teng Hsiao-ping seems to have run afoul of Chairman Mao, perhaps by criticizing the regime unconstructively--that is, by venturing beyond practical issues and raising more fundamental questions about Party ideology. Teng's momentary lapse into a counter-revolutionary attitude may even now be taken more seriously than his position...
...record limits the amount of influence he can really hold. In his book, Prisoner of Mao, Jean Pasqualini recounts a conversation with the chief warden of a Chinese prison for "reform through labor" (Lao Gai) that might have some bearing on the way things have turned out for Teng Hsiao-ping. Many former inmates of this labor camp for ideological reform continued to hold jobs there, away from their families, once they had been rehabilitated for their crimes against the Chinese people. Despite their reform, the free workers didn't live much differently from the prisoners. Yet this was likely...
