Isolation from western advanced countries was ideological . It was due to 
no single part only .Isolation from Soviet Union was more complex . After 
the breaking with USSR , all the experts and support from USSR were gone . 
Nanking Long River Bridge took 8 more years to be finished  . The Russian 
experts took away a lot of design details , which was really Que1 De2 
( indecent ). 

To be fair , USSR did put some energy after Mao's seizing of power . We can
know this from the previous generation .

Culture Revolution was really terrible . Hope China can develop peacefully
since now . No fight , but push forward . I don't think fighters can take
the positions of the future leadership . The reason is obvious , if we have
lived in China for some time . They don't have close contacts with common 
people , how can the people expect they can serve for them ? Mao and his
commrades fought for their belive for a long time . I think they did want to
improve China . But after they got the power , they gradually became a new
priveledge class . They live far way from people , their children go to the 
best schools , and become " Tai Zi Dang " , and new leader level . They 
become mysteries , their life and their decisions . Why did many people lost
interst in politics ? I think the phnomenon is related to the society . It is 
both economical and political . I personaly don't think through fighting can the 
problems of China be settled . China needs to change from bottom to up , not
from up to bottom . We need to change a lot of basical things in China . The 
question is how to make it . We are very diversed for the chose of means , even 
though we have many common points . I think we need to calm down to think practial 
ways for the future of China . We must confront the reality of the country ,
consider the effects of our actions . We must make the goal step by step .
We have to tolerate different and even oposite ideas ( otherwise how can we
get democracy , when we are taking radical actions by ourselve ?)
