China

In 1920 Mao Zedong found the communist party, he believed that a revolutionary elite would be found in the peasantry and not among the people who worked in towns. Throughout the years the Chinese communist party grew larger because they went up against GMD. The GMD concentrated on helping the poor, which was the majority of the Chinese population. Then the war between Japan happened, which China took back as a success. It helped on solidifying the Chinese communist in Northwest China, but the Nationalist Chinese had their hands full trying to fight the Japanese. Over the years after Mao took control he made a decision to move forward with the great leap forward that caused China a lot of losses.

Years later in 1977 Deng Xiao Ping took over control of China. He saw that China needed to increase the production, he then encourage peasants and workers to produce more. He encouraged them by giving bonus payment and profit sharing. Prices were paid by the state for the peasants for the grain and crops. Peasants’ were also allowed to grow more cash by producing more crops and sell them at surplus market values. Overtime Deng Xiao Ping made a policy to reduce family size. He made this policy so that it reduce the rate of population growth. The policy was not popular. This encourage people to have late and compulsory abortion.
