China has lifted 728 million people out of poverty by international standards. The whole of the rest of the world has only lifted 152 million, right? Therefore, the contribution to human well-being made by Deng Xiaoping is unequalled in my opinion. I was really deeply moved, you may even hear my voice slightly waiver, because the first time I went to Shanghai and I saw the great big portrait of Deng Xiaoping in the municipal hall there. And I was so moved, because I knew he’s been there, because I knew what not merely what a great theorist leader of China he was, but what an enormous contribution he made to human well-being.
