A radical revolution made by Mao Tse-Tung in 1966. He ordered the mass mobilization of Chinese youth into Red Guard units. His aim was to start revolutionary fervor in a new generation to ward off the stagnation and bureaucratization he saw in the Soviet Union.

He also believed that there were those in the Communist Party, such as Deng, who favored the introduction of free market forces into the country to raise the standard of living. The Cultural Revolution was to weaken the power of the Party and give Mao absolute power.

However after Mao's death, Deng and others, introduced ideas from Hong Kong and brought about a rapidly rising economy. Today, Deng is revered.
