Q. General Secretary, you and Premier Zhao Ziyang and
other leaders have said that in the the final
decisions Deng Xiaoping continues to make the major
decisions in China. Now a time will come when
Deng Xiaoping will probably not be able to make those
decisions. Do you think when that time comes there there
will be another single decision maker in China or do you
think the administration and decision making will be
co-operative or more a matter of a small group?
A. Our friend here may know that since 1978 many
important strategic decisions in China were first
initiated by Chairman Deng Xiaoping and these proposals,
these initiatives have been adopted after the general
approval of us all. Since the year before Chairman
Deng Xiaoping started to propose that the Central
Committee of the Chinese Communist Party that he would
like to gradually disengage himself from important state
affairs and he has proposed that I myself and Comrade
Zhao Ziyang should concern ourselves more with important
state affairs and decisions which could be decided after
they have been discussed by the party. In accordance
with the wish of Chairman Deng Xiaoping, Zhao Ziyang and
I myself have taken more responsibility regarding
important state affairs.
In the past two and three
