In this essay I will discuss and analyse the title, was there a ‘lost chance’ for Sino-American accommodation in 1949. To conduct this analysis, I will look at several different significant factors that may have potentially altered any decisions made regarding Sino-American accommodation in 1949. Firstly I will examine the divergences between political ideologies in relation to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Western societies (primarily the United States). Secondly, I will investigate…

A 2015 psychology study by Homan, Buengeler, Eckhoff, Ginkel, and Voelpel shows positive effects of diversity training in workplaces with nationality diverse teams and poor prior understanding of diversity in the workplace. Large scale immigration trends of Canada, matched with Homan’s findings, suggest domestic firms can positively generate team creativity amongst increasingly diverse firms so long as thorough attention is paid to the backgrounds of workplace teams. Nationality diversity is…

Becoming official in 1949, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) wasted no time in imposing Mao’s ideals on the people. These ideals cultivated a devotion to Mao (and by extension the central government) that demanded limits on expression. Although the communist regime has undergone many changes…

The first thing that comes to our mind when discussing the government intervention on population growth is always the controversial one-child policy of the People’s Republic of China, a policy imposed in the 1980s, aimed to stabilize the supply of food and water and improve individual prosperity (Moore, 2014). Nowadays, the focus of the world on population growth shifts from birth control to immigration control, as a surprising report showed that 80% of U.S. population growth comes from…

From the start of his participation of the Chinese Communist Party in 1943 to his death in 1976, Mao Zedong, or Mao Tse-Tung, influenced the People’s Republic of China and helped to end the Republic Period by leading in the Chinese Rebellion. However, Mao Zedong was not a beneficial leader. He was rather detrimental as is evident through the social, political, and cultural changes of China during this time period. While historians argue that Mao Zedong was one of the most destructive rulers of…

As one of the oldest civilizations with both a national and common cultural history that has lasted over 10,000 years and dynasties that span 4,000 years. China has a very long history that is very complex and its identity is not static, but ever changing. China can be identified as very protective of its people when it built the Great Wall of China in order to guard itself against nomads or isolationist when the country only traded selective commodities in limited exchanges with certain foreign…

The Qing dynasty began in 1644 when the Manchu people took over China and began their reign. It was not the greatest dynasty, nor the longest, but during its regime the people of China were changed forever, and it would be the last of the dynastic empires to rule. The people of China were exposed to the Western world through trade and conflicts like the Opium Wars. The influences that resulted from these exposures, as well as aspects of traditional Chinese Culture led to the modern Chinese…

A. Plan of the Investigation This investigation seeks to evaluate the circumstances that led to the Sino-Soviet “split” during the Cold War. The main body of this investigation will assess the political and ideological relations, national interests, as well as varying views of regimes between China (PRC) and the Soviet Union (USSR). The split devastated the international communist movement while laying down the path that would later spark relations between China and the United States…

In addition…

In 1978, Deng Xiaoping succeeded Mao Zedong as the only paramount leader of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) without any formal government positions, such as the head of state, the head of government or the General Secretary. He was regarded as ‘the architect’, who successfully strengthened the country with his revolutionary economic reform program- the ‘Open Door’ policy. With that mentioned, this essay focuses on Deng Xiaoping’s effort in his economic reform program that has changed China…
