Battle for China's Past : Mao and the Cultural Revolution

3. The poem can be found, among others, at http://www.

4. The Chinese term for ‘Two whateverism’ is Liang ge fanshi. It is derived
from one of Mao’s out of context quotes that ‘whatever is opposed by
our enemy we should support and whatever is supported by our
enemy we should oppose’. In the early 1980s the term fanshipai (whateverists)
was used by Deng Xiaoping and his followers, who accused
the then CCP leader Hua Guofeng of being a Two whateverist: whatever
Mao said must be followed and whatever Mao did must be
correct. The information on whateverism presented here also appears
in my writing on Chinese electronic media and Chinese dissidents
elsewhere.
5. Some of the material about the Two whatevers presented here is also
used in Mobo Gao (2004–2006).
6. Chai Ling, after finishing a Princeton MPA and a Harvard MBA runs a
software company, Jenzabar.com, in Massachusetts (Harrison 2003).
On her business web page she uses the claim of being nominated twice
for Nobel Prize to advertise Dongfang ribao. Chai Ling states that we all
want the American dream, the movies of the West and success. Li Lu
runs Himalaya Capital Partners L.P hedge fund (Buruma 2003).
