Abstract
In 1956, Mao Zedong denounced US imperialism as a ‘paper tiger’, accusing the Eisenhower administration of ‘flaunting the anti-communist banner everywhere in order to perpetrate aggression against other countries’: When we say US imperialism is a paper tiger, we are speaking in terms of strategy… It has claws and fangs, we have to destroy it peacemeal. For instance, if it has ten fangs, knock off one and there will be nine left, knock off another and there will be eight left. When all the fangs are gone it will still have claws… Strategically we must utterly despise US imperialism, tactically we must take it seriously.1
