Huism

Huism is the ideology of Hu Yaobang, a high-ranking official of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1980s. He was known during his years of leadership for his support for liberal policies; most notably, freedom of the press, free market reforms, and legal accountability of government officials. He formerly supported Mao Zedong, but later grew critical of him. He was politically persecuted under Mao's rule along with Deng Xiaoping, a close associate of his. After Deng's rise to power, he worked closely with Deng and Zhao Ziyang, the premier of China, to institute liberal reforms, focused on transparency and free market reforms.

His liberal reforms in the 1980s, his forced resignation from the position of general secretary of the CCP in January 1987, and later, his death from a heart attack in April 1989, sparked a series of mass demonstrations in Beijing, consisting mostly of students and workers, that eventually ended in the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4th, 1989.

Zhao Ziyang continued Huism and pursued further reforms both politically (Hong Kong Model) and economically despite the resistance of conservatives like Li Peng. However, his speech that attempted to calm the students who protested in Tiananmen Square angered Deng Xiaoping. It resulted in his imprisonment for life after the infamous Tiananmen Square Massacre.

In today's China, the names and the information of Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang are erased from the internet. However, the anti-communist Chinese liberals who know their existence still greatly respect Zhao and Hu as the architects of Chinese market reform and democracy.
