"Deng seemed to indicate that he was in favor of the conservatives. But the
appointment of Zhao Ziyang as the new General Secretary proved that this was
not so, because Zhao was not less radical than Hu Yaobang. The clash between
the conservatives (headed by Li Peng) and the reformers (headed by Zhao
