Communist Party of China

The French Revolution of 1798 and the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1927 are examples of this. The French Revolution was caused by unequal taxing and the Enlightenment ideas spreading. The Chinese Revolution was caused by the slaughter of a political party and the protection of the peasants by the communists. The two revolutions were similar in that they resulted in execution programs, however France developed a monarchy while China created a communist form of government. Ultimately, the…

Cultural Revolution left China in a devastated state with economic and social problems in part to the failure of Communism. The Communist Party still stayed strong throughout these crises although they resulted in more deaths than the Soviet Union and the Nazi regime’s atrocities. The party elected Deng Xiaoping, who was left to lift the country back up. Xiaoping launched an economic reform program which used capitalist ideas such as material prosperity, contradicting the Communist views of…

educated in China, the Chinese Cultural Revolution was only briefly mentioned in my history class. The way the textbook described the Cultural Revolution, made it seems so insignificant and “normal”. Living abroad, with access to more information, I want to uncover it from the “history textbook”. First, I want to know how exactly the Cultural Revolution happened and evolved. The Cultural Revolution started in 1966 by Chairman Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party. As Mao feared that China…

After Mao Zedong’s death in 1976, China started its new reform era. The new era contrasts sharply from its former era. After the failure of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping started a series of reforms that lead to today’s China. There are many aspects that are different from Mao’s regime, but also many aspects they remain constant throughout the years. During the early years of the People’s Republic of China, the communist-lead party was still no part of the…

Mao tse-tung brought the communist revolution to China and gained political though the barrel of a gun. The Chinese system he overthrew nearly 50 years ago was backwards and corrupt. Few would argue the fact that he dragged China into the 20th century. But at a cost in human lives that is staggering. Suspected enemies of the party were murdered by the millions, farming collectives and the Great Leap Forwards of industrialization that failed miserably and left millions more died from starvation.…

China has had a history like no other. From dynasties ruled by emperors, to the communist revolution, to an eventual crossroads between the 20th century and western influence. China grew from an agrarian society to global superpower like the US, but the differences between the US and China are stark. The US is a democracy with a multi-party system competing for offices in government. However in China, the party is above the government; public offices are filled by appointed party members and the…

management is the primary goal of social justice. “China is a one-party state; the Chinese Communist Party is the ruling party. The people 's Congress system…

of globalization in the 1980s-90s occurred simultaneously with the shift in China and Russia from a central planning economy to a trade-driven market economy. The Chinese leadership consciously embraced globalization, and saw it as an opportunity rather than a threat. The reaction in Russia was not like that of China, since during the 1990s Russia seemed to be suffering from the impact of globalization. Both Russia and China have emerged from the transition to global capitalism as stronger and…

Establishing Communism in China: Mao Zedong 's Take on Communism Mao Zedong was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty (Spence, 1999). This meant that he grew up in a generation that desperately sought out change, revolution, and redemption from its oppression by foreign forces, including the Japanese, the Germans, and the British. As a part of this generation, Mao Zedong felt that he did not belong to the past, as traditional ways were failing to meet the needs of the Chinese people in the modern…

Mao Zedong had trouble gaining power and rising through the ranks of the Communist Party in the early nineteen thirties. With Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist army closing in on the Communist forces, the Chinese Communist Party was in need of a new leader. The Long March was the event that made Mao Zedong the clear leader of the Chinese Communist Party and later the People’s Republic of China. Mao Zedong, or Tse-tung, was born in a small, isolated village in Hunan Province on December 26th,…
