Question

which explains a difference between deng xiaoping and mao zedong in regards to economic policy? deng sought to modernize china by introducing capitalism in a limited way, while mao rejected all capitalist ideas. deng closed schools and learning, while mao believed training a skilled workforce was key to economic prosperity. deng closed the country to outside influences, while mao supported learning new technology from other countries. deng believed in collectivization of farms, while mao repealed these ideas in favor of limited private ownership of land.

Explanation:

Deng Xiaoping implemented economic reforms that allowed for some capitalist - like elements such as special economic zones to modernize China. Mao Zedong was committed to a socialist system and rejected capitalist ideas. The other options have incorrect attributions of policies to Deng and Mao. Closing schools was associated with the Cultural - Revolution period but not a defining economic policy of Deng. Mao's era was more isolated in some ways compared to Deng's opening - up policy. And it was Mao who promoted collectivization of farms.

Answer:

Deng sought to modernize China by introducing capitalism in a limited way, while Mao rejected all capitalist ideas.
