Post-Mao changes in class policy have included the denunciation of large-scale class struggle campaigns, the renunciation of some egalitarian practices, and a new positive emphasis on the role of intellectuals. A close scrutiny of post-Mao changes of class policies from a comparative perspective, nevertheless, indicates that post-Mao China has not moved fully into the post-mobilization stage so far as class policy is concerned. The prolonged theoretical debates on class struggle in the post-Mao era suggest that the reforms have faced strong opposition within the Party. The leaders have continued to insist on the existence of class struggle and even suggested that class struggle may become acute under certain conditions. The official press and documents have publicized class struggle campaigns against such "class enemies" as the remnants of the "gang of four," criminal offenders and economic criminals. All these suggest that the post-Mao new line on class struggle is not as solid as that adopted in the Soviet Union after 1940 and in most Eastern European countries after the early 1960s. Post-Mao China has denounced extreme egalitarianism since 1978, but the abandonment of egalitarian policies is by no means an easy task. Despite the Party's efforts to overcome the Maoist anti-intellectualism, many cadres still look down upon, distrust and find fault with the intellectuals. With the post-Mao Party's insistence on the existence of class struggle, the implied possibility of future intensification of class struggle, the continued existence of campaign enthusiasts and of anti-intellectualism among party and state cadres, and the widespread adherence to an egalitarian life style, it is too early to assert that China has moved fully into the post-mobilization stage. Today's China can at most be called a socialist country which is in the transitional phase from the mobilization stage to the post-mobilization stage. Whether China will complete this transition remains to be seen.
