In this final instalment of our interview with Ezra Vogel, he turns first to the legacy of Deng Xiaoping. While Deng's role in the suppression of popular protest at Tiananmen Square in 1989 will never be forgotten, the longer view will dwell on Deng as the man who changed China and steered the transformation that formed the China we see today. Professor Vogel then turns to Deng's role in international relations, beginning with the predominant relationship with the US but also noting Canada's special role in the 1970s and enduring relationship. Finally, Professor Vogel reflects on how he came to write this biography, and much of his public work, in a style that combines scholarship and accessibility.
