What was a major difference between Deng Xiaoping's and Mao Zedong's policies as the leaders of the People's Republic of China?

Respuesta :

Mao Ze Dong was leaning more on communism while Deng Xiao Peng was open to development. Mao was more focus on the agricultural sectors while Deng had focus on upgrading the methods for agriculture, science and technology and industrialization. Deng used to be a firm believer of Communism but had leaned  towards capitalism because he knew this can help the economic development of the country

promoted free market economic policies rather than communist collectivization
