While researching the beginnings of Mao’s single party, communist dictatorship over China, I noticed strong similarities between the Communist Chinese Republic and the Soviet Union. During the rise of the Communist Chinese Republic, the Soviet Union had already gained status as a World Power. As a result, Chairman Mao idolized the Soviet empire, and utilized it as a model for the Chinese Republic. In order to attain a similar empire to the Soviet Union, the Communist Chinese Republic required a great deal of foreign aid. Therefore, in order to support the expansion of communism, the Soviet Union provided funds to the Chinese Republic.

Mao Zedong adopted an unindustrialized empire, plagued with famine and high inflation. Therefore, he formulated a Five Year Plan, similar to that of the Soviet Union, in order to adapt socialist ideals to Chinese conditions, and combat the early Republic’s social and economic issues. For example, Mao began to implement the Agrarian Reform Law of 1950, which required members of the Chinese Communist Party to educate and redistribute land to the peasants. During the early years of Mao’s Five Year Plan, the Soviet Union provided financial support towards China’s reforms.

The treaty provided China with military, educational, and technological assistance from the Soviet Union, which allowed Mao Zedong to pursue his Five Year Plan. Thus, one may come to the conclusion that the Soviet Union and the Communist Chinese Republic were allies during Mao’s regime. This is exemplified by the economic and social aide that the Soviet Union provided the Chinese Republic in order to pursue Mao’s Five Year Plan. The alliance between the Soviet Union the Communist Chinese Republic was then asserted through the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and mutual Assistance, in …show more content…
The United Nation, who formed with the major goal of ending communism, supported South Korea. Similarly, the Chinese Republic supported Communist North Korea. Mao began to fear that the United Nations would push into Manchuria as they drove the North Koreans back. As a result, he ordered two hundred thousand troops to drive the United Nations back to the 38th parallel. During this conflict, the Soviet Union played a significant role in China and Korea’s success, as the Soviet Union provided materials, medical services, and air crafts to aid the North Korean and Chinese forces. Therefore, one may come to the conclusion that the Soviet Union and China were allies during Mao’s regime, as exemplified by the Soviet Union’s extensive military support provided to China and North Korea during the Korean
