Vikki 1999 - How does China work?

A frank, warts and all, look at the history of the CPC. Is China socialist, well, a little bit, although Europeans might not recognise it as such? The state provides many services at low cost, or free, which provides the groundwork for the Chinese to be entrepreneurs. But China does seem to be moving further towards socialism now, plus Xi has promised state pensions and free healthcare within 15 years. 

This video is an in depth explanation of the history of the people's republic of china, as well as an explanation of the Maoist theory and modern praxis. I go over Maoism and explain it's philosophy and origin, then I explain the ways Mao tried to implement these changes with the first and second 5 year plan, along with land reform and collectivization. I then in depth explain the history of the PRC since 1948 to gain an understanding of china and it's history before spending a long part of the video explaining the way the current Chinese government works. I explain the different administrative divisions and their purpose, along with how the elections work.
