China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a fascist and social-imperialist state located in East Asia. It is one of the largest countries in measures of population, land, and economic power. It represents one of the largest imperialist powers in the modern day.[1][2]

The modern Chinese state was founded in 1949 during a bourgeois revolution led by the Communist Party of China under the leadership of Mao Zedong following the defeat of the Kuomintang. The new government began to institute policies such as New Democracy in order to foster collaboration between the nation's strata. Although the remains of semi-feudalism were eliminated, socialist development was never attained and the state implemented measures to ensure and maintain the power of the national bourgeoisie. After the failure of economic programs such as the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s, Mao initiated a large political purge known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966.[3]

Following Mao's death in 1976, a social-fascist clique led by Deng Xiaoping would seize control of the government and establish an openly capitalist despotism which continues to this day under the policy of "reform and opening-up."[4] By the rise to leadership of Xi Jinping in the 2010s, the People's Republic of China had become a contemporary social-imperialist state and superpower while maintaining its repressive fascist rule with a corporatist economic model.[5] The regime is actively pursuing hegemonic projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative.[6]

The People's Republic of China is a member or associate of multiple neoliberal and imperialist associations such as the World Trade Organization, BRICS, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It is currently leading the Eastern camp of imperialism alongside the Russian Federation.
