Make no mistake, Chairman Mao Zedong is very much revered in China today, and for good reason. In fact, those who insult the memory of Chairman Mao will most certainly be held accountable for their disloyalty to China's most central figure. One need only to look at the recent case of Deng Xiangchao, who received just punishment for his erroneous statements. Look also at Western-influenced Mao Yushi, who has also insulted Chairman Mao's memory. Zuo Chunhe, a government official involved with the media, was recently relieved of his duties for his egregious insults.

It is true that there are those who style themselves as "defenders" of China while being secretly ashamed of its past. The plain truth is that those who insult Chairman Mao or belittle his memory are not true friends of China. They have erroneous opinions, and personal agendas at odds with both the Party and Xi Jinping. They know nothing about China. China will never forget the horrors of WWII, or Chairman Mao's leadership.
