1986 Marks Slow Global Spread of Reform
In 1986 the world saw limited economic and political openings in China and notable public defiance from dissidents. Deng Xiaoping’s regime allowed private stock ownership up to 49 percent in some state enterprises while keeping 51 percent owned by the state. In the Soviet Union Andrei Sakharov returned from internal exile, gave interviews to CBS and ABC, signaling cautious openness but little change at home. Moscow’s media coverage of the Afghan war increased, and Gorbachev signaled a possible withdrawal. Poland broadcast the mass from the Vatican on Christmas Eve, signaling symbolic reform ahead of talks with Pope John Paul II.
