9.4.6 Reflect: Dang Xiaoping responded to critics of his economic reforms with this traditional saying; "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice." What did he mean by this?
He means that it doesn't matter what you look like or where you're from, the only thing that really matters is how well you can do what you are supposed to.-Jessica Smith
This means that no matter what you look, smell, or even sound like, the only thing that matters in the long run is that you your your job at the best of your abilities. ~Julia Stelman
by this he means as long as you do your job right then it doesn't really matter where you came from and look like, as long as the standers you are given are completed. ♥ sophia solomonson period 1

I think that he means that no matter what you look like, what your abilities are, and what your reputation is, as long as the job gets done thats all that matters. ~Jenny Stein
What he means is that it doesn't matter what you wear or look like or where you come from but what matters the most is that you get your job done, and you do it well.
This was most likely a stand against racism and prejudice. The point is that it doesn't matter What you're past is, what you look like, whether youre a girl or a boy, what your reputation is, or where you come from, all that matters is how you get the job done. -Haley Silver
I think, by what he says, that he means that as long as you can do your job effectively and right, then it doesn't matter what region your from, color you are, or what religion you practice.
What Dang Xiaoping means by this is that as long as we are successful, it doesn't matter what method we use to reach success. The cat refers to the government, it could be legalist or it could be democratic. The phrase as long as it catches mice is symbolic for as long as we provide ourselves with what we need, unity, a strong economy, protection, and peace.
I think this quote means that Xiaoping does not care if someone is from a different area, they have a different culture, or look different. Dang Xiaoping just wants his people to be strong and do what they are supposed to do and do it well with honor and pride. -Emma Spellman
I think the quote from Xiaoping is doing two things. First it's saying that it doesn't matter what color or where your from, if there is a job to be done, as long it's done right, then it doesn't matter who you are. Also it's uniting everyone together and relieving racial tension. ~Sammie Steinberg
I think that the quote means that no matter what you look like, how you feel, and what you do, everyone is equal. It also means that if someone does the same thing as you differently, does it matter if the journey was different? The destination is the same. -Sabrina Solley
I think Deng is trying to say one straight forward thing to critics. It is that it doesn't matter who's doing the job as long as it's getting done. What I mean by this is that He and the Government may be not what the critics want, but the job is getting done.
Dang Xiaoping responded to critics of his economic reforms and meant by this that it doesn't matter how you succeed as long as you complete your task, then all is well. Set aside race, ethnicity, and beliefs. Work together and form a unifying trait that will help you accomplish your goal. The issue is not who you are or what you do, it is if you finish what you started. It does not matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you complete the task you are given.
Although Dao Xiaoping coined this term in friendly words like cat and mice, the quote has a much heavier meaning. Dao's words mean that the individual does not matter as long as it contributes to the whole.
i think the quote means that no matter who your are, what you do for a living, what your family is like, where you come from, or what color your skin is; it doesn't matter. we are all human and we all deserve the right to live and be happy. **sabrina sigal :)
Dang Xiaoping responded to critics of his economic reforms with this traditional saying; "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice." He means that Japanese people disliked racism and didn't care if people looked different. People are still people and should be different as long as the person can carry out the job. In Japan, there was little racism and unequal treatment because everyone could move up and down in Japanese society easily

His statement means that it doesn't matter about the physical appearance of something as long as it does what it is supposed to do without any problems.
