American conservatives have always been vehemently hostile toward Mao, and against his CCP until the 1980s, when a modernizing, pro-capitalist faction led by Deng Xiaoping (1904–97) came to power. The currently leader of the party is Xi Jinping.

==Etymology of party==
''The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party of China'' reports:
{{quotebox|According to the book “Explaining Simple and Analyzing Compound Characters,” [1] the traditional Chinese character “dang,” meaning “party” or “gang,” consists of two radicals that correspond to “promote or advocate” and “dark or black,” respectively.
Putting the two radicals together, the character means “promoting darkness.”
“Party” or “party member” (which can also be interpreted as “gang” or “gang member”) carries a derogatory meaning.
Confucius said, “A gentleman is proud without being aggressive, sociable but not partisan.” [2] The footnotes of “Analects” (“Lunyu”) explain, “People who help one another conceal their wrongdoings are said to be forming a gang (party).” [3]
In Chinese history, political cliques were often called “peng dang” (cabal). It is a synonym for “gang of scoundrels” in traditional Chinese culture, and the meaning implies ganging up for selfish purposes.<ref>http://www.ninecommentaries.com/english-2</ref>}}
