Deng took China pretty close to capitalism and helped us in a number of ways to take down the Soviet Union he also had most of the commie hardliners within the party killed. Jiang seems to have been a closet hardliner who survived Deng just like that guy who talks about nuking LA.

Deng was an anti-Soviet guy who repeatedly insulted Khrushov in 60s. He told some Japanese leaders that China's perminant enemy is Russia. Deng did deprive many hardliners of power, but never "killed" them. Physically drestrying political opponents is not what Deng would do.

Jiang is neither a hardliner nor a liberal. He is simply a politican.
