The Chinese Revolution was a New Democratic and later socialist revolution which began on August 1, 1927 with the initiation of what would become a protracted people's war against the reactionary Nationalist government which had began to purge communists that same year.

The Chinese Revolution would see success in 1949 with the formation of the People's Republic of China on October 1 of that year. It would continue and would be transformed from a New Democratic to a full socialist revolution by the 1960s with the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The Chinese Revolution, however, would be defeated in 1976–1978 with the rise of the clique of Deng Xiaoping and other capitalist roaders, under whose revisionist governance capitalism would be restored.
