Did Mao Zedong good?

This is a highly subjective question. Many Chinese harbor a mix of both admiration and disdain for Mao Zedong, believing that he did the country a great deal of good by ending the corrupt rule of the Kuomintang, reforming the feudal system of land ownership, and ending the last vestiges of imperialist control over Mainland China. In this, he has become more of a figure of Chinese nationalism than one of international Socialist revolution. However, the catastrophes of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution can be laid at his feet. As one ambivalent man once told me, "Mao was clearly a great man, as only a great man can make the sort of mistakes that he did!" My personal judgment is that China today is, in some respects, slightly better off because of Mao and the CCP than it would be today if the KMT had won the civil war, and slightly worse off in others.


What development took place in china under mao zedong?

Under Mao, the dysfunctional KMT government was replaced by the government of the "People's Republic". In practice, the country was governed on an ad-hoc basis, with Mao as paramount leader and other party functionaries filling necessary government roles. Constitutional rule was not re-established until six years after Mao's death, in 1982, when Deng Xiaoping passed the country's current constitution. The Mao period started off by consolidating control over the country, finally reunited after over a century of imperialist and warlord rule; new provincial boundaries were established, with many provinces shrunk, expanded, created, or removed entirely. A system of "Autonomous Regions", based on the Autonomous Okrugs of the Soviet Union, was established for the Mongolian, Zhuang, Tibetan, Uighur and Hui minorities. For the first seventeen years of the PRC, the country was governed along fairly orthodox Marxist-Leninist lines. In 1966, seeing his power based threatened by Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, his attempt at establishing agrarian "People's Democracy" and eliminate the rising power of party hierarchs. In practice, however, the Cultural Revolution merely plunged the country into chaos, and the Leninist system was rebuilt after Mao's death. It is typically believed that the interventions of Zhou Enlai and the PLA prevented the Cultural Revolution from causing the complete collapse of the government under Mao. After 1976, Mao's political program was abandoned. The governing system in place today has been dramatically changed since the end of the Mao period, with constitutional rule, formal offices, a functioning legal system, and a technocracy built on Leninist lines.


What is another name for Taiwan?

Taiwan before 1945 was referred to as Formosa which is Portuguese for "beautiful island". After World War 2, China became embroiled in a civil war between Nationalist forces and Communist forces. In the end, the Communist forces under Mao Zedong were victorious and so the Nationalists were forced to leave mainland China and instead moved to Formosa which they referred to as "The Republic of China" as opposed to mainland China which is the "Peoples' Republic of China".


Good things Mao Zedong did?

Mao Zedong was instrumental in waging a war against the invading forces of the Imperial Japanese military beginning in the 1930's and on forward to the end of World War Two. Mao's communist ideology led him to end all political opposition once he took over total control of the Communist Party. The result was a one party system, that was a totalitarian one imprisoning and executing all democratic opponents of communism. He used the Chinese army to help with the North Korean efforts to win the Korean War. In summation, his became a ruthless dictator much like Joseph Stalin.
