Thus the contradictions in the 1980s between the proponents of a liberal socialism, close to Hu Yaobang, and those of a technocratic type of neo-authoritarianism, close to Zhao Ziyang, evoke the debate of the 1920s between the liberal Hu Shi and reformers of the Kuomintang, who advocated imposing a "political tutelage" on a society considered to be immature.
