People's Republic of China Building a Better future

The main elements that shaped the People’s Republic of China were the foreign policies, educational systems, treaties with other countries, and the goal for sovereignty that managed to lead China into the great leap.

After the civil war China was under the People’s Republic of China, the country would go through many social, political, and economic events that would then become a significant part of China’s history. The civil war was to come to an end after Mao Zedong led the Communists to victory against the Nationalists, after more than 20 years of civil war. This would then lead to the retreat of Chinese government into the island of Taiwan for a new setup.

 Chinese foreignpolicy in 1949 had ordinary characteristics. They had goals that were similar to other nations. The country was determined to protect its rule, power, and territory. They were striving for independence and wanted to work with both powerful and less powerful countries. Beijing’s foreign relations were marked by their history, power, nationalism, worldview of leaders, and government structure. China had good foreign policies that led till the late 1980s. The foreign policies all reflected its hard working country, which took of after the civil war of 1949.

After the PRC emerged, China was able to have a more structured-like government. They took off with social events that would change the country. In the 1950s the Mao began to favor the pro-natalistic population policy. The government would adopt the ideas of the “new human being” which was the idea of transforming family, marriage, and children’s education. These all would lead to the impact of the PRC.

China was determined to find founding’s for the Chineseeducational system. A month after the win of the communist party, the National Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica (in Nanjing), and Beiping Academy in Beijing was established. This would support the scientific advancement education, which was based on the “socialization” of the education system. 

Soon enough China would improve its relations between theSoviet Union, where it was to sign the “Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance”. China and Russia would then work together and trade technological and scientific research, which would affect China’s growth in agriculture and industry. This would then lead to China entering the Korean war, where it would send its Chinese People’s Volunteer Army to invade into the Korean Peninsula, to support its communist (North Korea) alliances. China was to be aided by the Soviets who would assist them with firepower against the United Nations and the USA.

After a few years of rule and positive outcomes of the government, the popular Five Year Plan was introduced, this aimed to establish a Soviet-like style for heavy industries. It was a powerful goal in order to create a nation with fast industrial growth and socialization. The outcome would launch the nuclear research, where it signs a further Sino-Soviet agreement, where both countries would work together in Moscow. 

China’s government was one of the fastest growing during the 1949-1950s. Its agriculture was successful and the country began to build itself into a powerful nation. “New China” would soon be one of the most industrialized and influential countries in Asia. It’s vast amount of education and industrialization in the big populated country would soon impact the rest of the world.
