Even though Mao Zedong’s communist party (the CCP) had far less men than his opponents; rejected aid from the Soviet Union at the same time as his opponents received it in massive quantities from the West, he was able to take control of the country in 1949 and establish what is now a regime on the verge of superpower status.
