Mao Zedong

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Revision as of 02:47, 4 June 2013 by CzechOut (talk | contribs) (he's not described in MOE as a tyrant or even having lived in the 19th century)

Mao Tse-Tung was a Chairman of China in the 20th century. During the preparations for the World Peace Conference, the Third Doctor mentioned to the Chinese delegate Fu Peng that he remembered having a conversation in Hokkien with Mao, at which time the Chairman allowed the Doctor to call him "Tse-Tung." (TV: The Mind of Evil)

Behind the scenes

The fact that the Doctor suggests he spoke Hokkien with Mao suggests a difference between the real world and the DWU. In real life, Mao did not speak Hokkien, as he came from deep within rural Hunan Province, far away from the reach of Hokkien.
