The official view is that China has now reached an economic and political stage, known as the primary stage of socialism, in which China faces new and different problems completely unforeseen by Mao and as such the solutions that Mao advocated are no longer relevant to China's current conditions.
O punto de vista oficial é que China superou unha fase económica e política, coñecida como primeira fase do socialismo, na cal o país se enfronta a problemas novos e completamente diferentes ós que o fixo Mao, polo que as solucións aplicadas por Mao xa non resultan operativas.
