For starters, I'm Brazilian and something in my country's media made me want to ask about it.
Today, Jair Bolsonaro, who was elected president last month, posted a picture of former president Fernando Henrrique Cardoso (FHC) sitting on a twiter reading a book by Zhao Ziyang, Prisioner of State, as proof that he was ... communist (he was actually social -democratic when younger and wrote some things about the theory of dependence in Latin America when he was sociologist, but his government was economically liberal).

After that, FHC responded to his post by saying 'Misinformation is a terrible counselor. In the twitter photo of the president-elect, I appear reading a book of ex-premier from China, deposed and arrested, who criticizes the regime. This appears as 'proof' that I am a Communist. Only this one was missing. Cross, creed! "

I would like to ask the following comrades:
- What is Zhao's criticism of the demonstrations in 1989? From what I read a little, he was secretary general of the Communist Party of China at the time and then he was removed from office.
- How real and relevant are the criticisms coming from the Chinese dissidents?
