For
centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing
the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the
19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil
unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation.
After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established
an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's
sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and
cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978,
his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented
economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For
much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically
and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political
controls remain tight.
