It's better to have an inspirational figurehead than a boring but effective manlet as your ultimate hero when controlling a billion people
Because a bunch of fuckin ugly reds used him as a special weapon to fight Bruce Lee's cousin, Chin.

Not anymore though among the public level.
However, officially, the Gov does since to do otherwise would seriously dent the credibility of the CCP.

Why do people revere George Washington instead of all the people that actually did his work?
>>1166920
Cause Washington did not kill 60 millions of his own people ?

Mao lead the country through a decade of wars and he is the founding father. Some people dislike him though, unlike Zhou Enlain who is actually revered.
Deng is well liked, but he lead the country into a humiliating military defeat, and even though his reforms improved the life of many, he is also behind Tian an men.

Isn't interest in Hamilton picking up recently?

Because they learnt the lesson from Europeans that when you start tearing down your past you wind up destroying the foundations for your present.

It's all because of a dumb millennial pseudo-historic play. It's not because of a sudden swell of oddly directed patriotism.

Chinese love Deng more than Mao.
My ex gf was Chinese, and in a conversation about China i metioned Deng and she couldn't remember who i was talking about, showed her a picture of him and her eyes fucking flared up, she was like i know that guy, people love him, she didn't give a shit about Mao.
Her dad was in the red youth guards too and told me how he beat up his teachers.

Because Deng Xiaoping betrayed the revolution.

Did they make Hamilton black or something?

>Zhou Enlain
I despise ChiComs with a passion, but Zhou is actually someone I can respect because he was one crafty bastard.

Most don't because his regime marked the start of mass corruption in China.
>>1167554
Lmao Mao's regime was immensely corrupt as well. Except back then there was not as much money to corrupt.
Corruption can be beneficial and efficient in certain systems.

You do know that not everyone in the world has the same eurocentric monotheistic exclusive "worship only one god and no other" perspective, right?

Protip: Chinese are not schooled in anti-Chinese propaganda.

Too bad 4chan is a western website.
>>1166847
Because Mao fathered and created the PRC during its formative years. That he fucked up later is blamed on the Gang of 4.

Eh. The average modern Chinese reveres Mao as much as the average modern American reveres George Washington.
Which isn't that much... He's a historical figure but they don't really go about their daily lives thinking about how great he was.
