Chairman Mao Zedong was effectively replaced after his death in 1976 by a power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party. His death led to the arrest of the Gang of Four, a political faction loyal to him, which allowed more moderate leaders like Deng Xiaoping to rise to power. Deng initiated significant economic reforms, steering China away from Mao's rigid policies and towards a more market-oriented economy. This transition marked a significant shift in China's political and economic landscape.
