How has China's economy change after the death of Mao Zedong

As noted above, shortly after Mao's death, Zhang Chun-qiao, Qiang Qing, Yao Wen-yuan and Wang Hung-wen were purged along with large numbers of their followers. As a consequence a new leadership emerged, led by Chairman Hua Cuo-fung (Hua Kuo-feng) and Defense Minister Ye Jian-ying (Yeh Chien-ying). With his reinstatement (following his second purge as a capitalist roader) as Vice-Premier d Vice-Chairman, Deng Xiao-ping (T'eng Hsiao-ping) became the third leading member of this group.
