Thatcher's said more or less the same thing.

Something about how they agreed with each other about continuing
to deprive the people of Hong Kong of their democratic rights.

>>		       STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

>>		     On the Death of Deng Xiaoping
>>
>>
>>I was saddened today to learn of the death of Deng Xiaoping, China's
>>senior statesman.  Over the past two decades, Mr. Deng was an
>>extraordinary figure on the world stage and the driving force behind
>>China's decision to normalize relations with the United States.  His
>>historic visit to our country in 1979 laid the foundation for the rapid
>>expansion of relations and cooperation between China and the United
>>States.
>>
>>Mr. Deng's long life spanned a century of turmoil, tribulation and
>>remarkable change in China.  He spurred China's historic economic
>>reform program, which greatly improved living standards in China and
>>modernized much of the nation.
>>
>>China today plays an important role in world affairs in no small part
>>because of Mr. Deng's decision to open his country to the outside
>>world.  The continued emergence of China as a great power that is
>>stable politically and open economically, that respects human rights
>>and the rule of law, and that becomes a full partner in building a
>>secure international order, is profoundly in America's interest -- and
>>in the world's interest.
>>
>>I want to convey my personal condolences to China's President Jiang
>>Zemin, to Mr. Deng's widow Zhuo Lin, and to the Chinese people.
