When Mao Tse Tung was asked what had been the consequences of the French Revolution, he replied that it was too early to tell.
Did he say that because he was a Communist, or because he was Chinese?
(Incidentally, this conversation is apocryphal. I haven't found any reliable sources for it, and it might have been Chou En Lai in any case.)

Ran into Dr. Leffler at the Savoyards performance, and he says "Chou En Lai"...or maybe it was Zhou En Lai.
