four cardinal principles

The Four Cardinal Principles (Chinese: 四項基本原則, pinyin: s xing jīběn yunz) were stated by Deng Xiaoping in 1979 and are the four issues for which debate was not allowed within the People's Republic of China. These are:

the principle of upholding the socialist path
the principle of upholding the people's democratic dictatorship
the principle of upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and
the principle of upholding Marxist-Leninist-Mao Zedong thought

The four cardinal principles actually marked an relaxation of control over ideology. In stating the four cardinal principles, the implication was that these four topics could not be questioned, but political ideas other than those in the list could be debated. Moreover, while the principles themselves are not subject to debate, the interpretation of those principles are. There has for example, been extensive debate over the meaning of socialism. 4
