Compare the recently deceased and honored "hard-liner" Deng Liqun (https://archive.today/MwxHz) with liberal elder statesman Li Yining (https://archive.today/uhEEt) or compare the neo-Maoist website maoflag.net (http://www.maoflag.org/portal.php) which has backers within the CCP with the neo-liberal website Caixin (english.caixin.com/) which also has supporters within the CCP. The range of opinion spans the political spectrum from left to right. The difference between the two political poles in China is far greater than between the Democrats and Republicans in the US. Xi Jinping is the fulcrum between these two sides of the political spectrum in China. He supports the political agenda of the left and the economic agenda of the right and modulates both to arrive at a ruling consensus.
