Mao

             China: Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
             Leaders of the 20th century asserted their influence into making what the world is today. Different forms of governments as well as different modes of running the governments have played a major role in the strength of the country. China, an ancient country ruled by emperors and then by totalitarian leaders, has seen many strong personalities and felt their power. Each new government brought new changes in China's politics, economic and social branches. China under Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping went under many changes to be what it is today. Xiaoping and Zedong implemented many new changes according to their respective times and thought what was best for Chinese people. Although each leader traveled a different path, Xiaoping and Zedong worked toward making China a true Communist nation with equality and prosperity as well as bringing favorable changes in Chinese politics, economy and social status.
             Xiaoping and Zedong took desperate measures to strengthen China's economy. Xiaoping carried on with the "quota system" which was started by Zedong after he came into power in 1949. After the Communist party took power in China, Zedong implemented the quota policy. Peasants were ordered to produce food in communes and certain percentage of the staple crop was to be given over to the government. Zedong felt it necessary to accumulate as much food as possible in order to feed the masses rather than individuals. Likewise Xiaoping continued to pursue the quota policy in order to gather enough food for the ever increasing population of China. Both Zedong and Xiaoping stressed the development of industrial society in order to catch up with other wealthy nations. During the 1950's Zedong asked U.S.S.R. for aid to industrialize China. Although Zedong brought in outside assistance, it was from a Communist nation and would not ask for help from the U.
