Communist China went through many hurdles, reforms, hardships and difficulties in the first 30 years of its establishment. These may include the land reform, Anti-corruption movements, Hundred Flowers Brooms, Great Leap Forward, Culture Revolution and etc. Soviet tried to control China in one hand and in another hand, America, together with Europeans and Japanese, has been trying to block Communist China since its early establishment. Communist China did make mistakes in the past. But one thing for sure, this government makes all Chinese proud of being Chinese.
China can stand up again.
Chinese learned from the past history how the major powers play in the world stage. China has every reason to be cautious not to fall into the same trap again. China started the economic reform with open door policy in late 70. Since then, China has set the stages of rapid economic growth with continuous experimentation and multi-staged market reform. Although China today is still a poor country, Chinese believe that the economic booming will continue for some time in its own pace.
