Part 8/9:
Today, elements of Mao's governance resonate within the Chinese Communist Party, which continues to exert significant control over various aspects of life in the country. His ideology remains a point of contention within the Chinese narrative. Some aspects of his policies are revisited as the country manages its economic reforms while maintaining a stringent political grip. The memories of Mao’s era serve both as a cautionary tale and as a source of pride for certain factions within the nation.
