History
The early years
Japan's horrific 14 year long partial-occupation of China ended in 1945.
Tibet’s geographic location on the Himalayan plateau made it geopolitically significant, serving as a buffer zone between China and the Indian sub-continent. The PRC, India, Nepal, Mustang (a Nepalese vassal state), Sikkim (a Indian vassal state) and Bhutan (a Indian vassal state) all hand strategic interests in the region.
At the end of the Chinese Civil War Guangdong became one of the Nationalist government's final footholds in Mainland China, with Guangzhou temporarily serving as the Kuomintang's provisional capitol. The Kuomintang (KMT), which was anti-communist, had previously hand Chongqing as there capital until the PRC defeated them late November 1949. The People's Liberation Army seized control of Guangzhou province after the retreat of the government of the Republic of China to Taiwan. The Republic of China (ROC) had taken control over the island after the Second World War. With the resumption of the Chinese Civil War, the ROC was unable to suppress the islands' Communist movement, but the movement was also too weak to take control of the island.
By 1950, the Communists controlled most of mainland China, founded the modern borders of the People's Republic of China (PRC) out side of Tibet, and were seeking to conquer the islands of it' coast. The PRC invaded Hainan Island on 16 April, 1950' and had taken control of it by the 1st of May. Xinjiang had been quickly reintegrated back in to China in 1949, but Tibet would hold out untill 1951. Defeated Chinese Nationalist forces crossed into into the hills of Burma's Wa Region and Attacked China's Yunnan Province With support from the United States between 1950 to 1952. In 1953, Burma condemned Taiwan for this violation of its sovereignty by the Chinese Nationalists in the UN. China and Burma became allies in 1954.
After the 1945–49 Chinese Civil War, China plotted to invade Taiwan from 1949 into 1950, since they were scared the exiled capitalist Kuomintang goverment would join forces with the The Kuomintang forces in Burma and invade China.
Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China (the PRC) in Beijing on October 1, 1949. It was the first time in decades tat a a Chinese government was met with a passive and united China rather than warlordisum and foreign colonialism its own territory. The new leadership, with strict discipline and a decade's worth of well earnt wartime administrative experience, was able to quickly implement both a program of national unification and socialist reforms. In the first year of communist rule, with Mao as there ultimate leader, initially moderate social and economic policies were implemented with skill and effectiveness.
Reintegrating Tibet
In May 1951, the Agreement on the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet was recognized in Beijing. The picture shows the advance troops of the 18th Army passing through the urban area of Kangding.
China retook Tibet, ending 30 years of absence in 1951. Mao Zedong sought to consolidate control over all territories claimed by China, including Tibet and Taiwan. China wanted to assert sovereignty, citing historical claims (Tibet had been under varying degrees of Chinese influence since the Mongol and Qing dynasties). Tibet had operated with de facto independence since the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912, but it was not internationally recognized as a sovereign state. Most Tibetans wanted to remain independent of both the PRC and ROC.
The Communist government portrayed Tibet as a backward, feudal society in need of liberation and modernization and manipulated the pre-existing tensions between Tibetan leaders (Dalai Lama vs. Panchen Lama) provided Beijing with further justification for the PRC's intervention and plans to set up a client state under Chinese supervision. They aimed to integrate Tibet into the newly founded People’s Republic of China. It was justified as a mission to “liberate” Tibet from feudalism and bring modernization to the country, but most though Tibetans largely viewed themselves as independent and hope for the formal recognition. The Chines invasion of 6 October 1950 – 24 October 1951 put an end to this. The Ü-Tsang Province and Chamdo Region of the Kham Province came under the control of the PRC and Tibet's Ü-Tsang Province became a autonomies client state of China. Chamdo was later re-merged into Tibet Autonomous Region in 1965.
Taiwan and the USA armed Tibetan rebels in 1959, they were defeated and The Tibetans did not want to join China and were crushed. Tibet was fully integrated in to China with reduced autonomy after the failed 1959 Tibetan uprising.
The Chamdo Region was re-merged into Tibet Autonomous Region in 1965. The present day Tibet Autonomous Region corresponds approximately to Ü-Tsang and the western part of Kham.
The Korean war
The People's Republic of China entered the conflict in October 1950, with the N. Korean supported Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) due to fears that America could use N. Korea as a stepping stone to a later invasion of the PRC.
The fall of Fang Fang
The new Chinese Communist Party (CCP) administration issued harsh taxes, requisitioning between 22 and 60 percent of grain annually. However, the local party boss Fang Fang tried to moderate Chinese land reform policy in order to protect successful businesses in the Pearl River Delta, landholdings by overseas Chinese seeking to eventually return to the country, and commercial relations with British Hong Kong. In response Mao Zedong purged Fang and thousands of cadres from the province in 1952, sending Tao Zhu to implement a much harsher program under the slogan "Every Village Bleeds, Every Household Fights." Mao would start his rapid decent in to despotism after this.
Anti-Rightist Campaign
The Anti-Rightist Campaign (simplified Chinese: 反右运动; traditional Chinese: 反右運動; pinyin: Fǎnyòu Yùndòng) in the People's Republic of China, which lasted from 1957 to roughly 1959, was a plan to wipe out intellectuals and anyone who was not a communist fanatic under the guise of a political campaign to purge alleged "Rightists" within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the country as a whole. The campaign was launched by Chairman Mao Zedong. Deng Xiaoping and Peng Zhen also played important roles. The Anti-Rightist Campaign significantly damaged democracy in China and turned the country into a de facto one-party state. Deng Xiaoping admitted that there were mistakes during the Anti-Rightist Campaign, and most victims received rehabilitation after 1959. 550,000 to 2,000,000 were persecuted to amuse Mao and turn China in to a one party state.
1959 Tibetan uprising
Taiwan, Mustang (a Nepalese dependency) and the USA armed Tibetan rebels in 1959, they were defeated and The Tibetans did not want to join China and were crushed. Tibet was fully integrated in to China.
Anti-Right Deviation Struggle
The Anti-Right Deviation Struggle (simplified Chinese: 反右倾斗争; traditional Chinese: 反右傾鬥爭), also known as the Anti-Right Deviation Campaign (simplified Chinese: 反右倾运动; traditional Chinese: 反右傾運動), was a political campaign launched by Mao Zedong in 1959 after the Lushan Conference, aiming at purging the "right-deviationists" or "right-opportunists" within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The struggle started with the purge of Marshal Peng Dehuai, then Minister of National Defence, who expressed disagreement with Mao over the radical policies of Great Leap Forward. In total, over 3 million CCP members were purged or penalized during the campaign. In the early 1980s, the purge of Peng Dehuai was categorized as "entirely wrong" by CCP during the Boluan Fanzheng period.
The Great Leap Forward
The Great Leap Forward was a incompetent, botched and failed industrialization campaign within China from 1958 to 1962, led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It was meant to promote central planning, the economic collectivization of agriculture and realisation of socialism. The Sichuan was deeply affected by the Great Chinese Famine of 1959–1961, during which period some 9.4 million people (13.07% of the population at the time) died. It killed between 15,000,000 and 55,000,000 people.
The Sino-Soviet split
The Sino Soviet Split (1956-1968)
The Sino Soviet Split.
The Sino-Soviet split of 1961 divided the Communist bloc of nations world between the Soviet and Chinses spheres of influence. China, N. Korea and Albania opposed the desalinisation of the USSR. The USSR was virulently anti-Semitic, Sinophobic and Islamophobic after Stalin's death and Mao was worried about it. The anti-Semitisum and Sino-phobia would end under Gorbachev's rule in the USSR.

The Red Guard were hysterical and hate filled youths who were totally brainwashed by Mao and persecuted China between 1966 and 1968. Everything democratic, historic, western, intellectual, progressive, Soviet and intelligent was destroyed causing mass fear, misery, suffering, anarchy, terror, and paralysis. Mao hated historic Chinese culture loved encouraging pointless killings. Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping was persecuted by Mao at this time and Zhou Enlai's adopted daughter, Sun Weishi, was executed in 1968 by the Red Guard. Mao had unleashed the full blown use teenage hooligan culture for his own personal self aggrandisement!

Zhou Enlai dies
Zhou Enlai (Chinese: 周恩来; pinyin: Zhōu Ēnlái); was a Chinese statesman, diplomat, victim of Maoism and revolutionary who served as the first Chinese Premier from October 1949 until his death in January 1976. Zhou Enlai opposed Mao's more extreme policies, but failed to save many of those closest to him from having their lives destroyed by the Cultural Revolution since Mao was getting paranoid about dissidents. Mao's cronies were happy to hear of his death. Zhou's death marked a pivotal moment in Chinese politics, triggering an outpouring of public mourning, exposing deep political divisions within the CCP, and setting in motion a chain of events that culminated in the Tiananmen Incident of April 1976. Mao would not be mourn with such viggor after his death. At the time of his death, Zhou held several major positions, including Vice Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, Premier of the State Council and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. There were largely pro-Zhou protests in Tiananmen Square on April 4th, 1976.
Mao dies
A Maoist faction inside the CCP known as The Gang of Four Jiang Qing (Mao Zedong's last wife), Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen tried to hijack the CCP in 1976. Jiang Qing Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen attempted to take over the country and were removed by CCP Chairman Hua Guofeng and his allies. He stopped most of the persecutions and all the crazy policies, as well as rehabilitating Deng Xiaoping at the 11th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. They were later charged with a series of treason against Mao's designated successor Hua Guofeng and for other treasonous acts along with the excesses and failures in the Cultural Revolution. Many have speculated that Mao was so destructive to China that even rule by Imperial Japan was better for China.
1979 Sino-Vietnamese War
The Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979 was a month long war which occurred in early 1979 between China and Vietnam in revenge for Vietnam's conquest of Cambodia in 1978 the crushing of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. The war ended in a draw.

When Deng Xiaoping took power in Sichuan in 1978 it becomes one of the first provinces to experiment with the market economic enterprise. He would also set up a special economic zone on Hainan Island in 1988.
The small town of Shenzhen became a city in 1979 and boomed economic reforms introduced in 1980 by the more moderate and competent Deng Xiaoping. It was China's first first special economic zone and a massive source of overseas investment in to China. It had become a world class industrial hub by 2010. Both Shenzhen and the PRC as a whole flourished up untill the economic slowdown caused by the 2019 Covid-19 pandemic.
Wuxi Factory 742 would become a major semiconductor plant in the 1980s.
Deng Xiaoping's fear of a second Chinese civil war lead to the massacring of the Tiananmen Square protesters in 1989.
China would go on to become a major manufacturing nation with a booming econamy. Sadly, Xi Jinping became a dictator when his term ended in 2022 and got fixated with invading Taiwan and took up a more aggressive stance on both America's increasingly toxic attitude towards the world to the world and the long standing South China Sea Dispute. The Chinese econamy also began to stagnate after 2022.
