control
- 1958-61: Mao attempted to use China's ever growing population to develop
China's economy but the results were a disaster and between 18-33 million
people died of famine.
- 1961-1966: Deng Xiaping & Liu Shaoqisideline Mao and bring back sanity to
China by easing state controls and importing grain from abroad to break the
famine. Population growth takes off again.
- 1966-1976: Mao is back in power and attempts to destroy/weaken the
traditional & cultural fundamentals of Chinese society. The result is
chaos and an almost destruction of the Chinese economy &education
system. attempts to control the population fail & the population
continues to grow out of control.

resurrecting the economy & improving the
