MAO Ze-dong and the Great Rise of the Chinese Nation

MAO Ze-dong's historical status can be gauged by the contribution he made to the revival of the Chinese nation. His first contribution was in leading the Chinese people in overcoming feudalism, capitalism and imperialism and establishing the People's Republic. His second was the successful Three Transformations and establishing a socialist system. His third contribution was his preliminary explorations of how China should build socialism. Mao also had his shortcomings and errors, and he should be objectively assessed.
