The China’s Cultural Revolution was the ugly power
struggle. Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong
stepped down from the administration center by the failure
of the Great Leap Forward policy. He, however, planed
his own restoration. He incited people to attack
political opponents, and put them in the downfall.
It was the witty struggle for power in the Chinese
Communist Party.
Mao Zedong organized so-called Red Guard by young
boys and girls, and attacked a political adversary.
Nearly 100 million people in this way suffered some
kind of damage, and this attack brought chaos to
China. It brought extremely serious blow and
stagnation to the economy. The number of the
victims of this power struggle was more than
10,000,000 people.
How do the current Chinese Communist Party
Stakeholders learn this Cultural Revolution?
How to reflect this Cultural Revolution?
Are they allowed to study this Cultural Revolution?
In China can people study freely? No, they cannot.
That state is disappointing and serious.
The freedom of learning makes a democratic
nation, and it is indispensable to maintain
a democratic nation.
The government has never permitted a deep
examination of history, it’s impossible to say that
lessons have been learned.
文化大革命とは、大躍進政策の失敗によって政権中枢から
退いた毛沢東共産党主席が、自分自身の復権を画策し、
民衆を扇動して政敵を攻撃させ、失脚に追い込むための、
中国共産党党内のみにくい権力闘争であった。
毛沢東は政敵を攻撃するために、特に若い若い少年少女たち、
いわゆる紅衛兵を組織して、政敵を攻撃した。
