Maoist China refers to the period in China from 1949 to 1976 when the country was led by Mao Zedong and the Communist Party of China. During this time, Mao implemented policies aimed at transforming China into a socialist society, including land reforms and the collectivization of agriculture. The government sought to eliminate class distinctions and promote equality. One of the most significant events during Maoist China was the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), which aimed to reinforce communist ideology by removing capitalist and traditional elements from society. This period was marked by political purges, social upheaval, and widespread persecution of perceived enemies, leading to significant cultural and economic disruptions.
