Chinese Nation Thought Experiment Summary

Communism in China as we know has played a major role in the countries political system over the past century. Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao were the co-founders of the communist party in 1921. At the time China was in a world or turmoil ever since the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. For 10 years China was lost in a world with new ideas coming from all over the world. At the time, Duxiu and Dazhao saw an opportunity to bring change throughout a weakened China and they exploited it. The communist influence being brought by them and powers such as Russia influenced the Chinese way of thinking that Communism had new beliefs of the world and that all people should be seen as equal under the new government. Personally I am a very strong believer in

Although, it is evident that the Chinese Civilization has the greatest impact on the development of man out of all of the civilizations due to the innovation of gunpowder, and the discovery of the silk road.

In “The Chinese in All of Us,” Richard Rodriguez describes multiculturalism in America in the 1950’s and how people of different cultures reacted to it. Rodriguez was born of Mexican descent from immigrants who moved to California in an attempt to find a better life. Being raised in America, Rodriguez was exposed and influenced by the various amounts of cultures surrounding him; he explored and developed as a person with a culture that went beyond his Mexican roots. Due to his embrace of multiculturalism, critics and people in general mocked and defamed him by saying to him “you have lost your culture” (Rodriguez 729). In “The Chinese in All of Us,” Rodriguez makes claims about the definition of culture and about how people reject multiculturalism in order to preserve their own culture.

Maxine Hong Kingston’s The China Men is a historical record of the events that had taken place in the West coast of the oppression and racism faced by Chinese immigrants and their struggle to gain the rights and citizenship of Americans. As recorded here, the most critical attack by the U.S. government to the rights of Chinese immigrants were the Chinese Exclusion acts which banned the entry of Chinese and also denied the Chinese who were already in the country the rights of citizens. As can be seen with the case of Chae Chan Ping, the denying of liberty was done by the branch of government which is meant to call out the other branches on their abuses of power and abuses of the Constitution. Instead, they carried out their own racially biased

As many other countries around the world China has its long history of a struggle for equality and prosperity against tyrants and dictatorships. The establishment of People’s Republic of China in 1949 seemed to have put an end to that struggle for a better life. “The Chinese people have stood up!” declared Mao Tse-tung, the chairman of China’s Communist Party (CPP) – a leading political force in the country for the time. The people were defined as a coalition of four social classes: the workers, the peasants, the petite bourgeoisie and the national-capitalists. The four classes were to be led buy the CPP, as the leader of the working class.

NW China would be my choice because of it’s natural resources, high population, and stable climate. Because NW China is the self proclaimed “rice bowl” producing tea, rice, and other crops there would always be jobs and food to feed the public. I would live near Hong Kong. I have a personal preference of more populated areas, as I have lived in one for most of my life. I wouldn’t do well in the western side of China where it is more desolate. In addition to that the climate of NW China is very similar to Iowa’s climate, and they are close to each other when speaking of latitude. Des Moines sits at 93º 36' W, and Hong Kong at 114.1095° E. Since the climate is similar, I would know what to expect and prepare for in all of the seasons. In conclusion

Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village by William Hinton is based on Hinton’s visit to the village of Long Bow, China, in 1948, which was one year before the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) victory in the Chinese Civil War.

For example, Hinton
