Did you see an article in C-D, I think maybe 2008-9 by, I think ?? Shapiro
that Deng was mis-translated in the above and in fact said something else,
but Shapiro's own translation , to me, meant the same thing.

(I think Shapiro is a writer and one of those 'friends of China' who live
permanently in Beijing, ala Rewi Alley and various others did/do, and he
must be 80-90?) And I may have the wrong spelling..
