	Telegraph \| News \| Zhao Ziyang
		Zhao Ziyang, who died yesterday aged 85, served as prime minister of China from 1980 then as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party from 1987; but he was sacked by China's elder statesman Deng Xiaoping and other leaders in 1989 after he opposed the military crackdown on protesting students in Tiananmen Square.
		Zhao was never brought to trial, and a party investigation subsequently cleared him of anything worse than a "passive approach towards the struggle against bourgeois liberalisation" and the "neglect" of ideological and political work.
		Zhao Ziyang was born Zhao Xiusheng on October 17 1919, the son of a wealthy landowner in Henan province in central China.

		Zhao was the son of a small landlord of Huaxian county in the northern province of Henan, not far from the origins of China's first imperial dynasty, the Shang, 3,000 years ago.
		Zhao was soon grappling with land reform, the basis of the Communist party's success and yet, when later pushed too far and too fast, the main cause of its setbacks and divisions.
		Zhao, a centrist by nature all his political life, was about to demonstrate in his downfall that, at times of crisis, the centre cannot hold.

	washingtonpost.com: Purged Chinese Leader Zhao Ziyang Dies at 85
		Zhao was a symbol of what might have been in China if the Communist leadership had negotiated a settlement instead of firing on the student protesters demanding political reform in 1989.
		Zhao's name and image have been banned from state media since his purge from the leadership, and many students in universities today -- a generation that came of age in an era of sustained economic growth and political stability -- know little about him.
		Zhao also championed a program of political reform involving separation of power between the party and the government, an expansion of press freedoms and the role of representative assemblies, and strengthening the rule of law.

	UCLA International Institute :: Remembering Zhao Ziyang
		Zhao’s persecution was the persecution of a leader who dedicated himself for over a decade to groundbreaking efforts that became the foundations of China’s economic reform.
		Zhao was the first to propose “expanded autonomy for Chinese enterprises” and “restoration of a healthy relationship between government and industry.” Expanded autonomy for enterprises and the peasantry were critical first steps whose success led eventually to full-blown economic reform.
		Zhao pointed out to the Politburo that the sentiments expressed by the students and residents in their commemoration of Hu, in their protests against corruption, and their desire for democracy were really the same sentiments that they themselves held.

	PM - Zhao Ziyang dies leaving political legacy for China
		Zhao Ziyang, a former Prime Minister and Communist Party Secretary General, spent the past 15 years under house arrest after publicly and tearfully sympathising with the Tiananmen Square protestors in 1989.
		And Zhao disagreed with that, and even though he occupied formally the highest position, he was in the minority and he lost out.
		Just as Zhao proposed, the party has shifted in its efforts to retain its legitimacy and its hold on power towards not claiming to be a Marxist party, but rather one which modernises China and which has a firm hand at the helm that prevents it from having any type of social instability.

		Zhao's role at Tiananmen came to overshadow his other legacy as a principal architect of the sweeping economic changes that began in the 1980's under Deng Xiaoping, then China's paramount leader.
		Zhao pushed to develop coastal provinces with special economic zones that could lure foreign investment and create export hubs - the blueprint for what is the backbone of the current Chinese economy.

		Reports have insisted on Zhao's status as national folk hero, saying that Zhao remained steadfast in his later years, refusing even to countenance the idea that the 1989 crackdown was a necessary evil in the interests of social stability.
		Zhao is characterized as the ultimate pragmatist, and might have been amenable to the approach from Deng.
