Some China propaganda posters I like, 1960s-1970s.
... ...

The construction of clean govt has always been one of the core tasks of the CPC, especially after Xi Jinping became our president.

“Teach the Younger Generation.” 1970.
It seems to have a double meaning. On the one hand, the govt attaches great importance to biotech and food crop breeding; On the one hand, the govt attaches great importance to the cultivation of a new generation of scientific talents.

“Go to the Big Ocean To Exercise.” 1970.
In 1984, China won its first gold medal in the LA. Olympic Games; In 2008, China hosted the Olympic Games for the first time in Beijing.

The "mass line" is the basic route of the CPC. Relying on the "mass line", the CPC won the civil war and established new China.
It is also relying on the "mass line" that China can quickly control and overcome the covid19 epidemic.

"People's Congress system" is the core of China-style democracy.

“Enhance the Coastal Defense of the Motherland.” 1962. - My favorite poster!
April 23, 1949, the PLA Navy was established.

Now, we will own the third domestic aircraft carrier.

Can I call it our first impression of globalization?
