The attitude in the imperialist establishments of Europe and the U.S. toward

justifiably wary of imperialist-inspired criticisms. No matter whether China
pursues a left course, as it did in the days of Mao Zedong, or turns to the
right and allows capitalist market mechanisms to operate inside the
workers’ state, as it has done for the last three decades, the
imperialists will never be satisfied until they can thoroughly penetrate
China’s economic arteries and bend it to their will....
