Mao Zedong Mao Zedong is revered publicly in China as a great leader, but there is widespread discrepency over the actual opinions amongst the Chinese. There is no reliable answer, as public polls under the Chinese state media always manipulate the data to be overwhelmingly favor of Mao Zedong, despite the presence of online polls and other surveys by the Chinese themselves that contradict it.
Here are facts highlighting the pros and cons of the former leader of China and his regime, but I encourage you to research the topic yourself for a more concrete answer.
Pros:
1. Unified China under the Han Chinese (traditional Chinese) after decades of foreign rule by Europeans and Imperial Japan. For many Chinese, the exploitation of their country was a huge source of ire, given their extensive history. He also ended the series of civil wars and domestric strifes that plagued the country
2. Despite the the deaths caused by his policies like the "Great Leap Forward" movement, life expectancy did increase during Mao Zedong's reign, and iron production increased over 30% from 1958-1960 (but it plummeted in 1961 and wouldn't rise back until 1964).
3. In terms of personality & relationships, Mao Zedong was known to have a magnetic personality and was moderate in his manner with regards to friends. He behaved like a peasant & believed himself to be one of the masses (he was not elitist)
4. Mao improved the status of women, and statistics reveal that his reign was marked with improved literacy as well as education for the poor.
Cons:
1. Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" movement led to the "S�nnián dà jīhu�ng", or the "Three Years of Great Chinese Famine" from 1959-1961. The Chinese government admits tht 15,000,000+ deaths occured from this, but scholarly estimates from China's own researchers & professors place the deaths at anywhere between 20,000,000~43,000,000. Liue Shaoqi, the president of China from 1959-1968, said that Great Leap Forward movement was "30% fault of nature, 70% human error". Needless losses were caused by a corrupt government that Mao Zedong statistically did little to reform.
2. His policies, especially the "Great Leap Forward" movement, destroyed the most real estate (houses & property) in HUMAN HISTORY, far exceeding the damage that all of WWII's bombing campaigns caused. This was done to create new farms in arable land. Even then, Chinese governement statistics in the 1980s shows that there was actually a 30% drop in crop production from 1958 to 1960, which also contributed to the famine.
3. Mao Zedong was also known to be willing be ruthless against his enemies and those that failed to meet his expectations. While this normally would be considered utilitarian, the fact that many of the failures by the peasantry & his subordinates were largely caused by Mao Zedong himself makes it seem unfair in retrospect. When the nation experienced food shortages due to his policies, Mao Zedong refused any form of foreign aid and even exported grain while allowing millions of his people to die in an attempt to hide China's instability in the eyes of the world.
In other words, opposition was always met with ruthless suppression and torture. No exceptions.
4. Modern China has largely rejected Mao's economic policies, and most of China's rise as an economic superpower was due to Deng Xiaoping's capitalistic reforms in the late 1970s, not those of Mao Zedong.
5. The "Culturual Revolution" under Mao Zedong led to destruction of many aspects of Chinese culture, including but not limited to: scholars, historical relics/monuments, art, poetry, and literature.
To summarize, Mao Zedong could be considered a monster seeing as how he did not care how many people died to achieve his goals, but he can also be considered a leader for firmly believing in his cause to be for the prosperity of the nation as a whole. He was a firm advocate of the notion "the ends justify the means". The main questions for most Chinese, however, is whether Mao Zedong did obtain tangible results, and whether the sacrifices made by the people for the state was worthwhile.
How many people died in China during World War 2?
An estimated ten thousand Chinese, brought in by the French and British died in World War 1. Most were victims of either shelling, landmines, or the worldwide Spanish flu epidemic of 1918. They are buried in about 30 French graveyards, the largest at Noyelles-sur-Mer on the Somme, near where some of the fiercest battles occurred. That cemetery contains 842 gravestones Chinese characters and guarded by two stone lions, gifts from the Chinese Government.
Korea has a LOT of different kinds of food, most very different from other countries. Korea is a peninsula in Asia, which means it's a bit of land sticking out into the ocean near China and Japan. Like most Asian countries, Korean meals involve a lot of rice and noodles. Because they have so much coastline and not much flat land, they have more foods involving fish than foods involving beef. Every meal has a lot of small bowls of side dishes around; veggies and tofu and stuff which you eat in addition to whatever main meal you've got. These are called banchan. A common banchan is kimchi, which is spicy fermented/marinated vegtables - usually cabbage, sometimes cucumber or carrot. Korean meals most familiar to westerners: ramen, which is a noodle soup; bi bim bhap, which is a bowl of rice with some marinated veggies, egg and chili paste; bul go gui, which is a barbecued beef usually eaten with rice and wrapped in a lettuce leaf If you want to learn more details about Korean food, try here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_cuisine
What social reform did tai ping rebellion demand?

The failure of chiang Kai-sheks forces in the Chinese civil war can largely be blamed on?
His weak and corrupt leadership. Also a number of strategic errors he made: firing many of his professional soldiers after WW 2, who were quickly offered a job by the Communists. The second was retreating his forces to the defence of the cities, thereby leaving the countryside wide open to the Communist, who then had control of China's - and the cities' - food supply. When the US stopped funding Chiang (he had by then embezzled and/or misappropriated $ 6 billion in today's money) he could no longer pay his soldiers who then went over to the Communists in droves.
Where did Chiang and his nationalist flee to?
they fled to the island of Taiwan, where they established the Republic of China.

No, Chinese do not wear kimonos. Kimonos were Japanese. The Chinese originally wore Hanfu, loose robes belted at the waist with long sleeves, but when the Manchu took over in the Qing dynasty, women wore Qipao (tight, button-up dresses, the kind you usually see in Chinatown) and men wore Changshans (like Qipao, but looser, still button-up). Occasionally women would wear Changshans with feminine designs on them.
Rank and file soldiers, but it was allowed and in some cases encouraged by the leaders.

Why did the two opium wars start in China?
The Opium War started with the British East India company selling Opium in India, when the market for Opium in India ran out the British decided to trade with China.
The British shipped Opium into Canton and then sold it to the Chinese merchants, selling it to the Chinese people. By the 1830's China had been flooded with tons of cheap Opium. In 1839 the Imperial Commissioner for Canton wanted to cut off all Opium trade with the British, his name was Lin Tse-hsu. Because the British used the money from the Opium to buy things such as tea and porcelain, which were all in great demand in Britain, the British were not happy. Despite China's warnings Britain sold the Opium illegally for a higher price. Meanwhile the British had began their renaissance because they were white they found some mexicans to help them build weirdass english houses and make tea cabinets
China was distraught and beheaded all Britons in China, those who surrendered were forced to work farms in China, as you can imagine the British were not happy about this either. However the Chinese sent a small army of junks to Britain but the British already sent a small but powerful army of modern naval fleets. The two countries met in the middle of the ocean and that was how the war started.
The British won and forced the Chinese to pay in silver, tea, porcelain and made them sign a treaty.

Japan was attacked by USA's nuclear bomb and was defeat by military of Western allies during WW2. China had been smart to join allied with Russia during WW2 to get support in weapons and military hardware supplies.
If Japan has a chance to develop its military again Japan will defeat China and control some part of China again.
China though has a glorious look from the outside, but its people are not accepted to be all same Chinese. Unrest domestic civilian will soon leads to a crack in China's economy and politics. Secondly, China has so many enemy, even Vietnam, a traditional allies of China, now is likely China's enemy.
China was not smart enough to keep a healthy relationship with its neighbors which will give the USA a chance to isolate China silently.
What China should do is not expanding its land, but expanding its politics' influence and giving trust to its neighbors.
China will need its neighbors, but no country need China, they try to maintain a relationship with China because China is a special friend of the USA; however, it is almost over now, China is becoming a first-class enemy of USA who support Iran and N-Korea. This view is clear when USA gets closer to Russia who was former enemy but now a closer friend.
China is now wearing the shoes which Russia has worn for many decades.
Why might a nation turn to military leaders and extreme nationalists during a time of crisis?
. A nation might turn to military leaders and Extreme Nationalists during a time of crisis because these leaders have a far greater sense of nationalism than government leaders or politicians. This sense of nationalism would inspire the people and make them far more likely to get through the crisis at hand.
What are Chiang kai-shek's major accomplishments in world war 2?
At least, he didn't surrender to the Japanese military attack. In the meantime, his KMT troops did fought very hard against Japanese at the early stage of the war, which was 1937 and 1938. The resistance delayed the invasion to other parts of China. Japan's original plan was to take over the whole country in three months. However, he couldn't deny his responsiblity to the lost of three provinces in northeastern China, which was colonialised by Japanese since September 1931. The year of 1931 was actually the starting year of the WW2 for Chinese people.
