China: 120th Anniversary of the Birth of Deng Xiaoping (1904 - 1997)

In 2024, China commemorated the 120th birthday of Deng Xiaoping, one of the most influential statesmen of the 20th century, with the release of a special postage stamp. Deng, often called the architect of China’s reform and opening-up policy, spearheaded the country’s transformation from a planned economy to a socialist market economy starting in the late 1970s. While he is undeniably a key figure in China’s transformation into a global power, there are also criticisms of him, particularly regarding his role in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Crackdown.
