Deng's Finale: The Southern Journey, 1992

TL;DR — Chapter 23 of Ezra Vogel’s Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China: Deng’s 1992 southern tour, which restarted market reform after Tiananmen.

A scanned single chapter from Vogel’s 2011 biography (Harvard University Press). It covers the period after 1989, when conservative planners under Chen Yun pushed to slow growth, Deng’s failed attempts in 1990–1991 to revive reform from Shanghai, and his January–February 1992 tour of the south, including Shenzhen, whose speeches re-launched rapid market reform.
