Deng Xiaoping, or Teng Hsiao-p'ing; (1904-1997) was a Chinese Communist Party leader and China's most powerful figure from the late 1970s until his death. Deng Xiaoping was a vice primer of the peoples republic and general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. Deng’s political reform introduced free trade encompassing all of China’s Economy. Despite his communist leanings, he managed to rebuild China's economy by embracing this policy of free trade, and steering China away from its despotic headings. Unfortunately he was not completely succesful and as a result, communism still exists in China. However, it is generally accepted that there would be even more starvation in China without free trade.
