How is Lin Biao seen officially by the Communist Party today?
As a hero
As a traitor
As a martyr
As a misunderstood figure
Answer
Officially, the Communist Party deems Lin Biao a traitor. This perspective primarily stems from his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to assassinate Chairman Mao Zedong and subsequently defecting to the Soviet Union. Following his death in a plane crash in Mongolia while attempting to flee China, the Party officially condemned Lin Biao and stripped him of all his positions and honors. This stance remains largely unchanged to this day.
