And so what you have left at the end of the Cultural Revolution is Zhou Enlai, by this point, who's been a loyal lieutenant to Mao all along.
Rebecca KarlGUEST
Zhou Enlai is dead in 1975.
Rebecca KarlGUEST
What you have surviving at the end of the Cultural Revolution after Mao's death is these four people who make up the Gang of Four, Hua Guofeng, who is an extraordinarily weak substitute for anybody and soon gets shoved out of the way, and the re-arrival of Deng Xiaoping, who is probably the only person at that time who has the respect of army party and civilian authorities and is able then to consolidate his power.
Rebecca KarlGUEST
But at the end of the Cultural Revolution, then the Gang of Four, Hua Guofeng is in fact induced to arrest the Gang of Four.

Joshua Cooper-RamoGUEST
There's a story about in the 1950s when the Chinese premier Zhou Enlai went to Air China for the very first time and they were showing him all the impressive planes.
Joshua Cooper-RamoGUEST
And he took out a piece of paper and said, look, I've got one thing for you to keep in mind, which is safety first.
Joshua Cooper-RamoGUEST
And so one of the things I find when talking to Chinese labs is that safety first mentality is very much something that comes from the government and rolls down to the labs.

Sheng ZhangGUEST
And it's a quite interesting dynamic.
Sheng ZhangGUEST
We see that this is, I would say, a case that the Chinese are still influenced by Mao and Zhou Enlai's idea about how our security is closely related to what is happening in the Middle East.
