"Observe calmly; secure our position; cope with affairs calmly; hide our capacities and bide our time; be good at maintaining a low profile; and never claim leadership."
"China is not a superpower, nor will she ever seek to be one... If one day China should change her color and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialist, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it."
"Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big."
"Poverty is not socialism. To be rich is glorious."
"A fundamental contradiction does not exist between socialism and a market economy."
