Note
A political label coined the usual way, from Deng's surname plus -ist, so it keeps its capital letter: one Dengist, several Dengists. It belongs to the vocabulary of Chinese communism and names a stance rather than an office: favoring market mechanisms, private enterprise and pragmatic economics within a one-party socialist state, the line often summed up as "socialism with Chinese characteristics."
