## Founding and before World War 3

The CCP was founded in 1921 by Chen Duxiu & Li Dazhao. The CCP had declared several areas of the country as the Chinese Soviet Republic a predecessor state to the PRC. The KMT armies wiped out the region in 1934, and it was relocated to Yan'an in Shaanxi where the Long March ended in 1935. The Chinese Civil war was suspended in 1937 after Japan invaded China. It continued in 1945 after Japan surrendered The CCP controlled most of mainland China after winning the Chinese Civil War in 1949, forcing the Kuomintang to retreat to Taiwan, Hainan, and their surrounding islands.

Mao Zedong declared the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949 as the Nationalists fled to Taiwan.

As Taiwan got wealthier, the nation's poverty persisted. The Great Leap Forward (1959 to 1961), his attempt at industrialization and collectivization, resulted in widespread starvation deaths.

Significant societal upheaval was triggered by the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Following 1976, China began market economy reforms under Deng Xiaoping and saw significant economic development, overshadowing Taiwan's earlier achievements. China's economy, which mostly depends on exports, is currently one of the largest in the world.

In 1989, there were protests in Tiananmen Square. they were student-led demonstrations calling for democracy, free speech and a free press in China. ***on June 4th, 1989, China CRUSHED the protests brutally and thousands died.***

Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Zhu Rongji led the nation in the 1990s. Under their administration, China had gone threw massive growth

After the 2008 Olympics, China had hosted many major international events.

Under the tenet of "One nation, two systems," British Hong Kong and Portuguese Macau were given back to China in 1997 and 1999, respectively, as the Hong Kong and Macau special administrative areas. Under the administrations of Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao in the 2000s, the nation continued its rapid rate of economic growth and entered the World Trade Organization in 2001. Unfortunately, the country's resources and ecology were also adversely affected by the increase.

When Xi Jinping took power, he pursued large-scale efforts to reform China's economy, but however, freedom of speech had been thrown under the bus.

from 2017 to 2029, the Chinese government had carried out a ruthless crackdown in Xinjiang, imprisoning an estimated 5 million individuals, predominantly Uyghurs but also other racial and religious minorities. A national security law was enacted in Hong Kong in 2020 by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC), which gave the Hong Kong government wide-ranging tools to crack down on dissent, which eventually lead to it's short-lived annexation in 2027.

The COVID-19 pandemic started in Wuhan in December 2019, and after three years of stringent public health measures designed to eliminate the virus completely, the government was forced to relax regulations in December 2022 as a result of rising social and economic pressures.
