Policy compliance:

- Neutral:
- I'm a bit concerned about the hook, since in the article it was stated that the comment was "with a touch of humor" - does this have any implication that Mao Zedong didn't really thought that was the case? Furthermore, the source cited is from a government source - are there any guarantee on its credibility?
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

- @Jeromi Mikhael Regarding the 'touch of humor', I think its just Mao was using humor to soften a serious point as sometimes, he is known to use humor as to make a controversial or bold statement more palatable especially as Cheng was a well-known bandit and Mao had to consider unity among ethnic groups in China when considering her case. Regarding the question of using source, I also have included another source about the hook about Cheng from a website run by China Buyi Network, an organization which is responsible for maintaining historic and cultural aspects of Buyi people in China [1]. - Toadboy123 (talk) 12:09, 29 January 2025 (UTC).
