Question 12

What forces of Chinese history led to the eventual triumph of communism in that country? What were some of the major problems that the Chinese people and their leaders were trying to solve in the twentieth century? Why did the Chinese people turn to communism as an answer to their problems?

Accepted Answer

The forces of Chinese history that led to the eventual triumph of communism in China were primarily rooted in the country's long history of social and economic inequality, foreign imperialism, and political instability. Throughout the twentieth century, the Chinese people and their leaders were grappling with major problems such as widespread poverty, land reform, foreign intervention, and political corruption.

The Chinese people turned to communism as an answer to their problems for several reasons. Firstly, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under the leadership of Mao Zedong presented a vision of a more equitable society, promising land reform and an end to the exploitation of the peasantry. Additionally, the CCP positioned itself as a force for national liberation, advocating for the expulsion of foreign powers and the restoration of China's sovereignty. This resonated with many Chinese who were disillusioned with the weak and corrupt Nationalist government.

Furthermore, the CCP's organization and mobilization of the rural population, as well as its effective propaganda and messaging, helped to garner support for the communist cause. The party's ability to tap into the grievances of the Chinese people and offer a coherent and appealing alternative to the existing power structures played a significant role in its eventual triumph.

Overall, the Chinese people turned to communism as a response to the deep-seated problems of inequality, foreign intervention, and political corruption, seeking a transformative and revolutionary solution to their long-standing issues.
