Np, thx for fixing.
The link isn't the correct one I think.
It's kind of hard to answer OP's question, because they didn't get into specifics. Usually when the question is comparing Kruschev and Deng, the implication is that both were attempts at dismantling or disempowering their given socialist owned systems, and denouncing past leaders like Stalin or Mao, which nearly all the articles get into above w/ respect to China, and why that's not the case.
As clearly stated in Fallaci's interview with Deng:
Fallaci: To conclude this line of questioning: I can’t imagine that, at the next Congress of the Communist Party of China, we will see a repeat of the events of the twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, when Khrushchev denounced Stalin. Or am I mistaken?
Deng: You are not mistaken. At the Congress we will objectively evaluate the merits and the mistakes that characterized the life of Chairman Mao; we will celebrate his merits and recognize that they are of primary importance; and we will admit his mistakes, recognizing that they are of secondary importance. By making public the mistakes that Chairman Mao committed in recent years, we will adopt a realistic attitude. But we will certainly continue to follow Mao Zedong Thought — or, rather, all that which constituted the just part of his life. And, no, it is not only his portrait that remains in Tiananmen Square but also the memory of the man who brought us to victory and who, in essence, founded a country. And this is no small feat. And I’ll repeat: the Communist Party of China and the people of China will always look to him like a symbol — a very precious treasure. Write this down: we will never do to Mao Zedong what Khrushchev did to Stalin at the twentieth Congress of the CPSU.
Some of these answer it directly:
- The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. 1, 2 The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee.
- Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
- Is modern day china communist? Is it staying true to communist values?
- Didn't China go Capitalist with Deng Xiaoping? Didn't it liberalize its economy? Is China's drastic decrease in poverty a result of the increase in free market capitalist policies?
- Is the CPC committed to communism?
- The Long Game and Its Contradictions. Audiobook
- The myth of Chinese state capitalism. Did Deng really betray Chinese socialism?
- Tsinghua University- Is Socialism with Chinese Characteristics real socialism, or is it state Capitalism?
- Isn't China revisionist for having a capitalist sector of the economy, and working with capitalists? Why isn't it fully planned like the USSR was?
- Castro on why both China and Vietnam are socialist countries.
- Roderic Day - China has billionaires.
- How is SWCC not revisionist? How is it any different from Gorbachev's market reforms?, 2
- Domenico Losurdo - is China state capitalist?, 2
It's also on youtube, but torrents are the preferred way.

It's like that "meta/optics" analysis you see news commentators do. They completely ignore the actual content of the topic, and obsess over which person had a more powerful stance or talk about which person's suit had better big dick energy.
A liberal told me a while back they didn't like Parenti, and when I asked why, they said they hated the style of the writing. He's not writing fiction lol, the content is what matters.
A lot of it is the western left's fetish for defeat, as Jones Manoel pointed out in that great article, and which Losurdo is really good at highlighting.
Another part is western chauvinism, that communist expertise must come from those in western europe or the US (who've never had any victories and so are talking out of turn), and that eastern communists / (insert whatever racialized term like hordes here) can't comprehend and apply Marxism.
Anarchists are the biggest offenders for both of those.
Another big part is the short-term mindset that's unable to see the bargain (ie the tradeoff of temporary low wage exploitation for long-term technology and expertise) , for what it really is: a long-term strategy to end colonialism, transfer control of production out of the hands of western capital, and a way out of the low-wage trap every global south nation is suffering under.
The Long Game and Its Contradictions is probably the best introduction to SWCC, and outlines what this strategy entails.

Cmon, balkanize already
Oh you think its okay to defend yourself? Authoritarian tankie
Thank you for all your efforts in combatting western chauvinism, its been wonderful to see your channel gain the traction it has.
I'm sure we all feel like we're fighting a losing battle against US propaganda, especially recently given the increased racism from liberals against China and Russia. Do you think there's any hope of overturning that ideological stranglehold within the imperial core, or will the engine of revolution continue to be located in the global south?
