Abstract | All the world knew about Deng Xiaoping's impending death - except China. "His health is declines day by day, " The New York Times quotated Deng Rong, Deng's daughter, as saying. "People have to understand that at this point, he's 90 years old, an old man. And someday, there will be a day when he passes away." Her remarks were widely interpreted as a signal that the end was near. But China's controlled media made no mention of the interview. |
