...stunning triumph for Teng, a protege of the late Chou Enlai's, who was ousted from leadership positions by Mao in 1966, and again in 1976, when Chiang Ch'ing led the pack that hounded him into ignominy. Teng's return was also a dramatic demonstration of China's erratic course in the past decade-from pragmatism to radical zeal and back again. In modern Communist history, no other politician had ever risen to such heights of power and descended to such depths of disgrace-twice in a lifetime-and survived to rule again...
...Hsinhua communique disclosed, the 160-member Central Committee met secretly in Peking from July 16 to July 21. Its purpose: to consider the rehabilitation of Teng and the final debasement of Chiang Ch'ing and her gang. While the committee was casting its vote, visitors to an exhibition in Peking commemorating Chou En-lai noted that there were 24 photographs of Teng standing beside the man he had hoped to succeed as Premier...
...anti-Teng campaign, these articles were labeled the "three poisonous weeds." According to a 6,000-word editorial in the People's Daily earlier this month, the weeds were actually "fragrant flowers."

The radical view espoused by Chiang Ch'ing and backed by Mao called for local economic independence.

"If there are not enough vegetables and meat," he asked, "how can industry function properly?" Striking at the heart of Maoist doctrine, he declared that "it is wrong to practice egalitarianism, denying existing differences and refusing remuneration according to the work done...
...April 1976, shortly after his emergence as Mao's prospective heir, Hua joined Chiang Ch'ing and her group of radicals in attacking Teng's "counterrevolutionary line." Since he became Chairman last October, however, Hua has gradually and tacitly conceded that the heretic was right. One Teng tactic that Hua has adopted has been a tough line on law and order, in an attempt to put down the widespread strikes and other civil disorders that have plagued his regime. The troubles are largely the result of anger and cynicism among workers who have been subjected to wild...
