This Is The Reason Why China Did Not Develop In The 20th Century Despite It's Potential

The development of China is extraordinary, but why did it not develop in the 20th century despite such potential?

Following national events from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, I would like to summarize the reasons why China did not develop during the 20th century (externally, it did not seem to have developed).

1) In 1912, from the destruction of the Qing Dynasty to 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, the period of power lasted nearly 40 years.

2) In 1927-1937, there was the first civil war, and in 1946-1950, there was a second civil war between 1937 and 1945. In the past 23 years, many peasants had been captured by the Mao Zemin People's Liberation Army, and the country was destroyed by civil war .

3) The People's Republic of China, founded by Mao Zedong in 1949, became a socialist system, but agricultural and trade productivity declined.

4) In 1958-1961, Mao Zedong made a major breakthrough for economic recovery, and more than 20 to 50 million people died of starvation.

3) 1966-In 1976, the Great Cultural Revolution was born out of the struggle of Mao Zedong's fleeing power, which failed with great progress, causing riots and civil war, which resulted in the sacrifice of millions to 10 million citizens throughout the country. As a result, poor countries are increasingly destroyed.


4) In 1976, after Mao Zedong's death, reforms and opening policies were initiated by Deng Xiaoping, who took power, gradually shifting from socialism to a market economy from 1978 to 1992. The socialist market economy since 1992 has also been a slow development for decades first. Around this time Japanese companies started operations in the Pearl River Delta of China and Shenzhen. My first project was in Dongguan around 1996. Since Japanese companies began full entry into the area since 2000, the extraordinary economic development did not occur until the 21st century.

5) Entering the 21st century, since the 2008 global financial crisis, China has become an explicit national capitalist system, which leads to current economic development. In contrast, economists say that China's high-growth period ends around this year.

In short, immediately after the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, there was no potential in the first place. From the first national civil war to the end of the second border civil war between Japan and China, the potential was wasted in that war. Until Mao Zedong founded the People's Republic of China and died, his potential was not used. After Mao Zedong's death, Deng Xiaoping began to reform and open up, but during the 20th century, no tangible results could be seen from abroad. Is that okay?
