The feline metaphor was borrowed from late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, who proclaimed that no matter whether it was “yellow or white, a cat that catches mice is a good cat” – a slogan that came to symbolise his pragmatic approach to economic policy.

The Rat is in the Chinese zodiac. The Cat is not.

How many people in communist China’s history have died, due to their allegedly superior system of organizing society and the economy?

Yes, I’m sure they want to celebrate their considerable history, such as the legacies of the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and Tiananmen Square.
