Decades ago on July 23rd, 1921, a group of Chinese revolutionaries formed a Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai. The party was founded secretly after the inspiration from the Russian Bolshevik Revolution. At that time, China was wrecked and deprived of strength as a result of the Civil War. On July 1st, 2021, the country has marked the centenary of its Communist Party.
In 1949, the country faced the backing of the rural population mostly however, the CCP achieved success in routing the nationalist government of Chiang Kai-shek. In the same year, on October 1st, the People’s Republic of China in Beijing was proclaimed by the Chairman of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong.
After gaining power and authority, Mao made his attempts to boost industrial development in the country. But, he had some disastrous policies such as the Great Leap Forward of 1958. It was basically an agricultural collectivization campaign that ultimately resulted in the starving death of nearly 30 million people.
