1981 August 23, L. Chen, “Teng up there not respected”, in Free China Weekly, volume XXII, number 33, Taipei, page 3:Teng started the de-Maoization campaign and apparently was determined to do a thorough job. But he realized that he would, by doing so, ruin himself before ruining the party and the regime. Quite understandably he had to brake himself to a stop. Then, to the disappointment of the masses of people who wanted a posthumous whipping of Mao, the Teng & Co. declared that Mao's merits surpassed his demerits.
1990, Suyin Han, Aamer Hussein, Tigers and Butterflies, page 206:It is not "de-Maoization" but true "Maoization", following Chairman Mao's policies as they should be practised with the methods of Chou En-lai, which is the basis of China's new advance, and of the new Hundred Flowers.
2004, Yves Chevrier, translated by David Stryker, Mao and the Chinese Revolution, Northampton, Mass.: Interlink Books, →ISBN, page 104:After de-Maoization, the memory of Liu, Zhou, and Zhu was associated with that of Mao at the Tiananmen Mausoleum: the Party, the Army, and the State united around a chief who reigned as a charismatic federator of China, and creator of consensus within the Communist Party.
