Meh. It was an internal conflict that combined western-inspired student protests with Maoist anti-land-reformists in support of an outgoing CCP leader’s vision for the country. It’s very difficult to pick sides in the fight, because it wasn’t an East v West confrontation nearly so much as it was a Stalin v Trotsky domestic power struggle that manifested itself as a national media spectacle.
The Gang Of Four coming into and out of power in China did far more to shape the modern direction of the Chinese socialist character than this minor flare up on the eve of a multi-decade Chinese bull run.
