It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.
-- Excerpt from a speech at the Communist Youth League conference on July 7, 1962
To uphold socialism we must eliminate poverty. Poverty is not socialism.
-- Excerpt from a talk with the Japanese delegation on June 30, 1984
The chief criterion (for telling whether the road is capitalist or socialist) should be whether it promotes the growth of the productive forces in a socialist society, increases the overall strength of the socialist state and raises living standards.
-- Excerpts from talks given in Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shanghai, Jan 18-Feb 21, 1992
If any problem arises in China, it will arise from inside the Communist Party.
-- Excerpts from talks given in Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shanghai, Jan 18-Feb 21, 1992
Throughout the process of reform and opening, we must combat corruption. Cadres and party members should consider it of prime importance to build a clean government. But we still have to rely on the law, which provides a firm guarantee.
-- Excerpts from talks given in Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shanghai, Jan 18-Feb 21, 1992
As for punishing corruption, we should handle at least 10 to 20 major cases publicly and without delay. If we do not punish corruption, especially among high-level Party leaders, we run the risk of failing to rectify the Party and to achieve our strategic goals.
-- Excerpt from a talk with leading members of the Central Committee of the CPC on June 16, 1989
We can always uncover major cases of corruption if we want to. The problem is that we are usually hesitant about handling such cases. So we end up losing the support of the people, who come to believe that we are protecting the wrongdoers.
-- Excerpt from a talk with two leading members of the CPC Central Committee on May 31, 1989
One country, two systems.
-- in 1982
