Mao eluded
China has marked the sixty-fifty anniversary of' the founding of the Communist Party with strong attacks on the late Chairman, Mao Tse-tung, and a call for greater tolerance of dissent The “People’s Daily” carried a long speech by the party’s general secretary, Mr Hu Yaobang, who accused Mao of being "badly confused” and of launching a 10-year Cultural Revolution that brought catastrophe to the party and the State. The Cultural Revolution, launched in 1966, led to a breakdown of Government education and law and order, the exile, persecution, and death of thousands of senior cadres and economic chaos. Mr Hu said Mao, in his later years, became increasingly intolerant of views different to his own, denouncing them as “capitalist” or Jjantiparty.”—Peking.
