9. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Communist China, Part 2 (Review) In October 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the creation of the People’s Republic of China, a Communist government that now led one of the largest countries in the world. Mao tried to reorganize all of China along Communist lines of collective ownership of farms and factories. (Collective owner ship meant that everything was owned by the state.)

10. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Private ownership was eliminated and production quotas were set for agriculture and industry. He decided in 1958 to organize all farms into large collectives, where all ownership and decision making would be in the hands of the government . This program was called “The Great Leap Forward”.

11. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Mao thought that as a result of the Great Leap Forward tremendous positive changes would follow. In fact many Chinese farmers did not like the large farms. They missed their own land and because they no longer owned anything themselves, they had little incentive to work very hard.

12. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
A series of crop failures in the late 1950s made everything worse, and China went through a period of famine. The Great Leap Forward was abandoned in 1960 as a failure. After the failure of this program, some in China began to suggest that private ownership might not be a bad idea.

13. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
People began to wish for the return of democracy and capitalism the two things Mao had fought a civil war against. Mao was not pleased and worked to develop a plan to end the criticism of communism and Mao himself.

14. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Farmers and factory workers began to do some work for themselves and Mao saw his ideal of a classless society (communism), was drifting away.

15. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Part 2 Mao’s response to complaints about him and communism was to announce the Cultural Revolution in It’s main purpose was to stop opposition to the Communist Party. Mao shut down schools and recruited students into his Red Guards which attacked and punished any person who opposed communism.

16. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Leaders in the Chinese community who seemed to be in higher positions were attacked. Business managers, college professors, even government officials who were not supporters of the Communist Cultural Revolution were thrown out.

17. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Some were sent to prison; others were actually killed. Ultimately, these attacks created mass chaos in China. Factories closed and China’s economy became weak and experienced a 12% decline in GDP.

18. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
The Cultural Revolution only created more distrust of China’s Communist government in the minds of many Chinese and the world. The Cultural Revolution raged on for almost ten years, at which time Mao himself had to admit it had been a mistake.

19. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
In 1976 the Red Guards and the Cultural Revolution was ended. Gradually order returned to China.

20. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Mao died in 1976 and by 1980 Deng Xiaoping was named the leader of China. Though Deng had been with Mao since the days of the Long March, he was more moderate in his ideas about the path China should follow.

21. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Deng began to allow farmers to own some of their own land and make decisions about what they would grow. He allowed some private businesses to organize, and he opened China to foreign investment and technological advances.

22. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
He found that openness to western business also meant that the Chinese people were also exposed to western ideas.

23. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
In 1989, China went through a period of student protests that resulted in a huge demonstration in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. (*Note: Around the time of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the USSR and the end of the Cold War)

24. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Over 500,000 students gathered to protest what they felt was corruption in the Chinese government. In addition, they called for a move to democracy. The students even went so far as to raise a statue they called the Goddess of Democracy, modeled on America’s Statue of Liberty.

25. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
The world watched as Deng Xiaoping ordered thousands of soldiers into Beijing to end the protest. On June 4, 1989, the Chinese government ordered the soldiers in Tiananmen Square to break up the demonstration.

26. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
They fired on the students, destroyed the statue of the Goddess of Democracy, and arrested thousands of people. The brief pro-democracy movement was destroyed as well, and Deng Xiaoping was left in control. He held power until his death in 1997.
