 The Choice of Value of China Reform
The establishment of socialism in Russia and China after the October Revolution and the victory of Chinese revolution is the vivid embodiment of this historical law.
China, a big eastern backward country, has never experienced a developed stage of capitalism, and has no developed productivity created by capitalism to inherit, and what she can inherit is just farmer's small scale production and city’s handcrafted workshop left behind by the old China of semi–feudal and semi–colony.

It is true that there was an element of error here on the part of the Avakian RCP too, namely absolute support for the "Gang of Four" in China, who themselves made some very serious errors.
Still, Avakian and the RCP were correct in their general appraisal of what had happened in China, and the RWH forces who split off were essentially wrong.
When the topic comes up they still tend to focus on what is clearly a secondary issue, how to evaluate "the Gang of Four", and I don't think they do a fair and balanced summation even there.
