The
History of the People's Republic of China
details the history of
mainland China
since 1 October 1949, when
Mao Zedong
proclaimed
the
People's Republic of China
(PRC) from atop
Tiananmen
, after a
near complete victory
(1949) by the
Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) in the
Chinese Civil War
. The PRC is the most recent political entity to govern mainland China, preceded by the
Republic of China
(ROC) and thousands of years of
imperial dynasties
. The
paramount leaders
have been
Mao Zedong
(1949-1976);
Hua Guofeng
(1976-1978);
Deng Xiaoping
(1978-1989);
Jiang Zemin
(1989-2002);
Hu Jintao
(2002-2012); and
Xi Jinping
(2012 to present).

Under Mao's rule, China transformed from a traditional peasant society into a socialist state with a considerable sector of
heavy industry
under
planned economy
, while campaigns such as the
Great Leap Forward
and the
Cultural Revolution
wreaked havoc on the entire country. Since 1978, the
economic reforms
led by Deng Xiaoping had made China the
world's second-largest and fastest growing economy
, with a specialty in high productivity factories and leadership in some areas of high technology; on the other hand, the military crackdown on
Tiananmen Square protests in 1989
ended the political reforms. Globally, after
receiving support
from the
USSR
in the 1950s, China became
bitter enemy of USSR on a worldwide basis
until
Mikhail Gorbachev's visit to China
in May 1989. In the 21st century, the new wealth and technology led to a contest for primacy in Asian affairs versus
India
,
Japan
and the
United States
, and since 2017 a growing
trade war with the United States
.

Today,
Communism
remains the
official ideology
, with the Chinese Communist Party in full control, but with a new large middle class and hundreds of very rich entrepreneurs. Under Xi Jinping's rule, China is effectively a totalitarian
Unrechtsstaat
where the written constitution is upheld only when it supports the interests of the one-party dictatorship.
