Your KMT took away all the money and so many scientists and put all of them in the tiny Taiwan. Anything else, KMT could not took away was destroyed.
I did not say China was rich. But Chinese got richer than the era when China was leaded by KMT. China cannot become rich over night. That will be a long time effort.
China's economy grew at the speed which is close as today.
China is not the most advanced country even today. Let alone 30 years ago. You can deny China's SSN, N-bomb, H-bomb. No matter waht, only handful countries could make them before 1976. China was totally self-sufficent in industry and defense.
Communists party did much better than you KMT had done in mainland China.
Railroad was Den Xiaoping's achivement, you are kidding. China build more than 25000KM of railroad and repaired 11000KM in Mao's 27 years, another 27 years passed after the reform, China only built 25000 KM of railroad in the latter 27 years.
Deng Xiaoping just distributed the accumulated weath to people and say: I made this for you. Nothing.
Deng's agricultural reform got a lot criticism today. His initial reform in Anhui province was a lie. Even today, Anhui is still a poor province. Many areas that has collective econmy are really rich today. More economists in China are research on those economy models now. Those models actually follow Mao's idea. You may think it is funny, but that's true.
I know you understad Chinese. You can google: 南街村, 洪林村, 华西村., 大邱庄...and other places, you will find how rich they are. But they did not follow Deng's reform.
Another article published in LA times. It worth your reading.
