I know this is in the wront subject, but there was no option for history!!
Question: History textbooks generally state that twentieth-century China witnessed two Revolutions, one in 1911 and another in 1949. Yet many historians have also described China as undergoing a process of revolutionary transformation, one that began in the latter nineteenth century and continued indefinitely thereafter. Explain this apparent paradox. At what point, if any, might we say that the Chinese Revolution is finished? Has that, in fact, already occurred?
I need to form an argument for this, and I think I will choose to argue the idea that it is a process of revolutionary transformation. Any help would be appreciated!!! I have no clue how to start this...
Explanation / Answer
The revolution of 1911 and 1949 are different from current revolution. Revolution of 1911 and 1948 was to establish the economy of China. Chinese economy was in scratch during 1911 because of number of rebellion and wars. Economy was shattered . So Chinese took a slew of measures to boost economy. Measures include active participation of government , increased communism , government took large tracts of land and give it to people to grow , government took industries in their own hand to provide employment to people.
Now economy has moved to level where it is growing at good rate , has high per capita income, high savings and investment rate etc . Now rebellion is of new kind . Rebellion is for freedom of expression , rebellion is for expression , rebellion for more rights. Now I think Chinese are fed up restrictions state government had placed on them . Now dissent among them have started . I think this is just the beginning the tusnami is yet to come.
