Deng Xiaoping
1904 CE–1997 CE · Beijing
Deng Xiaoping (1904-1997) was the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978, following the death of Mao Zedong and his own return from earlier political purges. He launched the sweeping "reform and opening-up" policies that dismantled collective agriculture, welcomed foreign trade and investment, and moved China toward a market-oriented economy while preserving one-party rule. In 1989 the government under his leadership ordered the military suppression of the pro-democracy protests centered on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, an event that drew international condemnation; his economic reforms nonetheless continued and reshaped modern China.
