Prety reliable. History is being gradually discovered back to its real face.
This is the Politics!
This is politics. What will you choose - "honest but loss" or "Lie but Win"?
Deng was doing what he believed being neccessary to win the struggle. But he is definitely wrong when handling 64 events. Let's recall one phrase famous during "Culturql Revolution : "There is nothing called honest in politics. (Zheng Zhi Dou Zheng Wu Cheng-Shi Ke Yan!)"
And Hu was too naive to believe politics "could be honest and clean", that is one of the reasons - why he lost in the power-struggle with Deng Xiao Ping.
That could also be one of the reasons- why Liu & Deng lost to Mao. That is to say - "For the target, you have to use whatever weapon! (Wei Da Mu Di, Bu Zhai Shao duan!)
Is this to say - China has not really been civilizationized? I don't know.
