Bourgeois liberalism

Bourgeois liberalism was a derogatory term used by the rulers of the People's Republic of China in the late 1980s and early 1990s to refer to the perceived political and cultural threat; in political terms it would be parliamentary democracy or in cultural terms as Western popular culture. Several campaigns against bourgeois liberalism were launched around the date of the events of the Tian'anmen Square Revolt and immediately thereafter.

The term disappeared in the mid-1990s, particularly after Deng Xiaoping's trip to the south. An important factor in their disappearance was that in the mid-1990s it was believed that the leadership of the Communist Party of China sought to provide the Chinese with greater wealth and a Western way of life, which would gain the support of the middle classes and rich and would keep him in political power.
