Chinese Revolution - MSN Encarta Chinese Revolution, conflict in China resulting in the establishment of Communist rule. At that time, the basic line of the Comintern for Communist parties in developing nations was that they should seek patriotic support from all sections of the population who resented colonial domination, while building the core of their support among the class of the future, that is, urban workers. They all looked forward to a new world order based upon world revolution—after 1949 the Chinese leadership set themselves up as models for revolution in the “Third World“, especially in Asia, although ultimately their hopes were as much in vain as the Bolsheviks’ hopes for revolution in Europe. uk.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761580341/Chinese_Revolution.html   (3550 words)

Cultural Revolution Overview - China 1972 Image Database The origins of the Cultural Revolution can be traced to the mid–1950s when Mao first became seriously concerned about the path that China's socialist transition had taken in the years since the CCP had come to power in 1949. The Cultural Revolution was also a power struggle in which Mao fought to recapture from his political rivals some of the authority and prestige that he had lost as a result of earlier policy failures.

Last check: 2007-11-04) Mao Tse Tung and the Chinese Revolution The social changes which occurred in the Chinese countryside between 1949 and 1953 were characterised by partition of the land, the dispossession of the landowners, the breaking up of the social groups connected with them and, finally, by the destruction of the patriarchal family which was the basic production unit of traditional Chinese society.

Real Tigers and Paper Tigers: Feudalism, Self-employment, and the 1949 Chinese Revolution As we have seen in "Capitalism, Socialism, and the 1949 Chinese Revolution" (henceforth referred to as Essay 1), one of the defining characteristics of capitalism is the existence of a wide scale free labor (power) market wherein the vast majority of workers can seek employment from a wide range of potential employers. At the time of the 1949 Revolution there was already a significant number of middle peasants operating throughout the Chinese countryside, although their ranks were clearly outnumbered by feudal direct producers. For Chinese history is rife with uprisings of direct producers who either overthrew their local feudal lords or died attempting to do so. www.mtholyoke.edu /courses/sgabriel/economics/china-essays/2.html   (3576 words)

Last check: 2007-11-04) Tracing the origins of the Communist revolution of 1949 back to the late imperial era, he claims that the roots of this triumph of Marxist ideology go deep into Chinese tradition and convincingly relegates Western influence to the periphery. This book is Fairbank's argument that the development of Chinese history was far less heavily influenced by the West than most historians and Westerners believe. He convincingly puts the major interactions between China and the West in Chinese contexts, noting the similarities between Taipei Rebellion and the White Lotus Rebellion, for instance, although the latter event occurred when Western influence was much less. www.amazon.com /Great-Chinese-Revolution-1800-1985/dp/006039076X   (1985 words)

Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages--Quotations from Chairman Mao In the early 1960s, and during the first phase of the Cultural Revolution, the PLA played a major role in the popularization of the Quotations. In 1960, Mao Thought was seen as an arrow aimed at the target of revolution; by 1965, the Quotations were seen as a mighty "ideological weapon" in the struggle against imperialism, revisionism and dogmatism. Only in the early 1980s, when the official, negative, verdict of the Cultural Revolution was formulated by the CCP, it was decided that the ideological repository originally attributed to Mao was—in reality—the crystallized wisdom of all the leaders of the Chinese revolution. www.iisg.nl /~landsberger/myl.html   (593 words)
