COMMENTS: Youtube: Mao-Tse-Tung transformed the 5000-year China in 50 years. SAT 27th DEC 2025

 

I have never read the Karl Marx's Theory of Communism nor Chairman Mao's Quotations (the Little Red Book). However, watching from the sideline without having been involved nor got hurt in the turmoil, I was fortunate & am able to think with a calm open mind over the Cultural Revolution from 1966-1976. It was sure to be a tragedy unacceptable to many, which had resulted in tremendous losses of lives & damages in the country. However, unnoticed or ignored by many at the same time, I'll venture to say there should be positives which were crucial to set the platform for PRC to grow & develop to the present strong & prosperous state. I see that the cultural revolution was not for Mao's personal control. Chairman Mao was not just any politician but a great leader with a big heart who was beyond our judgement by common sense. It was to counter or decimate capitalistic right-wingers in the party, officials' corruptions, regional powers thrived from capitals, military associations, etc. so that CPC would not rot like KMT. Chairman Mao once said, "Let big disorder come first, & great governance will follow." 1/2 century or so after the big disorder, PRC is now a country looked up to (or hated because of envy) by many. All revolutions run & develop with uncertainties & violences, & collateral damages & losses of lives always come along with them. Great leaders do not look at & do things like us because they work for the big pictures.

Mao is a giant in China modern history. Had he not beaten the KMT, the history would surely be different today?

The person that saved china and created the foundation for modern china...

Don't blame Mao for famine, a natural disaster. Do blame him for the CULTURAL REVOLUTION.

I forgot one little extra.... the 50 million killed in the 100 years humiliation by USA, UK, PORTUGAL, SPAIN et al in the Opium Wars.....1840-1940 roughly

It was Mao who made China and Chinese stronger. Very strong in wars, to protect their self dignity. In korean wars, vietnam wars, vs Russia, vs USA, Cuban wars, vs Sovyet, vs india, and current trade wars

Mao is a very polarizing historical figure even among some chinese. Love or hate him he was at the forefront of what shaped China today.

Creation of foundation is critical. China did great. Not easy to build a nation from ground up

Whatever, without Mao, China would have been Balkanized, and the Chinese people would be relegated the lowest class of world citizen as we can witness from the persistent dehumanizing of them by the racist West till today.

The West still dont understand why theres a massive frikking picture of him on a building! On Chinese Yuan / RMB!! Yet they keep using Mao as an insult or a point of attack or to denegrate China not understanding LOL
Blame the embargo and sanction of 7M of human beings as is still being imposed on Cuba etc. today. A blatant violation of UN charter of respect for each nation form of government. That is why today China is dead set in breaking the island chains arround China by USA to ensure it wont happen again. Now USA is doing it to Venezuela aggressively!

Mao Zedong may have been used as a unifying figure for China but he actually mess up the country's progress with his crazy policies and had destroyed much Chinese historical culture. Modern China's success is the creation of Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping who should be given the credits of successfully constructing the modern China today.
