What were the Two Whatevers?

The Two Whatevers refers to the statement that "We will resolutely uphold whatever policy decisions Chairman Mao made, and unswervingly follow whatever instructions Chairman Mao gave".

This statement was contained in a joint editorial, entitled "Study the Documents Well and Grasp the Key Link", printed on February 7, 1977 in Renmin Ribao (People's Daily), the journal Hongqi (Red Flag) and Jiefangjun Bao (Liberation Army Daily).

This was a policy of then Communist Party of China chairman Hua Guofeng, Mao's successor, who had earlier ended the Cultural Revolution and arrested the Gang of Four. However, this policy proved unpopular externally with the general public who wanted an end to Mao era policies, and internally with other party leaders advocating market reform, such as Deng Xiaoping.

Hua Guofeng passed away yesterday - which gave me the idea to the question.
