Not Comics: RED CAT AND THE WINNER

Red Cat and The Winner are about a famous idea of Deng Xiao Ping that changed China’s modern history. 

In the late 70's, after the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiao Ping expressed this idea: no matter what color a cat is, if it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat. Thus he confronted those who argued against his new policy as being more capitalist than socialist.
