Mao Zedong was a radical leader who supported communist ideology.

Mao Zedong was a compassionate leader who understood many viewpoints.

Mao Zedong was a pragmatic leader who restored the Chinese economy.

Mao Zedong was an intelligent leader who wanted to enrich the Chinese culture.

Answer 1

I'd go with the first one, that he was a radical leader who supported communist ideology. The Cultural Revolution was an extreme part of that which, unfortunately, ended up doing a lot more long lasting damage than good while solidifying his eroding power base.
