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.

Why was Mao Zedong successful in gaining power in China?
Mao Zedong came to power in China in 1949 after a bloody civil war between himself, leader of the Communist Party, and Chiang Kai-Shek, leader of the real Chinese government (the Nationalists).
During WWII, Chiang Kai-Shek was preoccupied with Japanse agression and the Communist under Mao Zedong started to build up their strengh in north China. They did this by carrying out a "mass line" policy (from the masses to the masses), cutting land rents, and spreading out the lands of the wealthy landlords to peasants.
As WWII started to end, the world started to see that the Communist in China were actually making some changes in China... for the BETTER and perhaps war would not break out if the USA stayed neutral. However, the inevitable did happen and by 1946 full scale war between the Nationalists and the Communists was happening. Peasants ran towards Zedong and the PLA (People's Liberation Army) for promised land and social justice while the middle class, shunned by Chiang Kai-Shek because of his governments' inability to stop economic inflation, did so too.
In react to the war in China, President Truman sent General George C. Marshall (yes, the creator of the Marshall Plan) to China in hope to stop the Communist and reinstate the Nationalists.
The Communist won.
