China in its March to DEVELOPMENT followed the COMMUNIST PATH.
China in its March to DEVELOPMENT followed the COMMUNIST PATH.
After the COMMUNISTS defeated the NATIONALISTS in the Chinese Civil War, Chairman Mao launched a SOCIO-POLITICAL MOVEMENT known as GREAT PROLETARIAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION
The GOAL was to preserve COMMUNISM and check CAPITALIST FORCES.
It succeeded BUT did not bring LARGE SCALE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY to China. When DENG XIAOPING became the LEADER, he initiated REFORMS that launched CHINA on the path of ECONOMIC GREATNESS.
Building on this legacy, Xi Jinping leads China into a new Era.
