>>Beware those US venture capitalists.<<

Cannot agree more. They are definitely blood suckers! and especially Carlyle group, which is THE NeoCon core, and a major threat for China's national security. Bush clan and Cheney have major interest in it!

The problem is that some, if not many, local officials in order to get rich fast (Deng's slogan) and make themselves much richer too, would rather sell the public assets cheap to the capitalists. By doing so, China's long term interest is definitely ruined!

And here is a link you can download a short documentary on China's own Yun 10 airplane.
military.china.com

Such a wonderful large airplane ALL with China's own IP right (can hold as many as 179 people, and even the Americans admitted it is NOT a copycat of Boeing), which had successfully flied to Tibet 9 times, as well as successfully flied to Kunming, Guangzhou, WuLuMuQi, Harbin..., was forced to stop the production by Deng in mid-1980s. And guess what? Yun 10's research has been stopped for ONLY 2 years during the 10-year Cultural Revolution. And its virgin flight was in 1979, right after the end of the Cultural Revolution! And ironically, Wang Hongwen, one of the Gang of Four, has been a major supporter of Yun 10!

So used ONLY 8 years bet. 1971 and 1980 (stopped for 2 years), with a budget of ONLY 537.7 million Yuan --US$269 million at then exchange rate (including 343 million R&D, and 174.7 million Yuan for the construction of the plant), China has successfully built their own mainline civil airplane! This is unprecedented in the world, whether it is in developed or undeveloped nations! It takes at least 7-10 years, and US$2-5 billion for a developed country to build such a mainline airplane.

Think about it, if China had kept producing their own Yun10, how many thousands of billion US$ China could save (yes at loss of Boeing and Airbus! and maybe some Brazillian and Canadians too!) and how many China's industries could be benefited? How many Chinese workers could have some decent paying jobs instead of like now "washing dishes" in the sweatshops for pennies for the capitalists ALL over the World? The list could go on and on.

Yes, in this matter, Deng Xiaoping IS a A Criminal! He has done China tremendous harm, just as sinful as the CIA spy ShenTu (who was the head of China's Civil Air Administration in late 70s and early 80s, and formally enrolled by the US CIA! and was a major criminal in Yun10 going down).

Here is some detail (in Chinese) about how and why Yun 10 was taken down. It is such a shame, and it is the Most successful conspiracy plot done by the US gov. and the blood sucking capitalist Boeying jointly!

washeng.net

Here is a Chinese article on the principal Engineer of Yun 10--Ma fengshan
washeng.net

Deng XiaoPing voluntarily gave up China's high technology, and voluntarily washing the dishes for the developed countries for pennies. Yes, in his way, some of Chinese may get "rich" faster, but Deng's strategy has ruined the future of China!

And yes, Gang of Four has done some bad things during the Cultural revolution, but their support of Yun 10 has been in the major national interest of China, so yes, they also did something good!
