To what extent do you think XI Jinping will be a good leader for New China?

Before I can give my opinion about if XI Jinping will be a good leader for New China I think that first of all, I need to know some points about the government of other presidents. Investigating further we can realize that Mao was really important in China's history.

In October 1949, Mao had declared the People’s Republic of China at the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Beijing. He now faced very large problems. China had been fighting a civil war since the 1920’s and a full-scale war with the Japanese since 1937 to 1945. After nearly 20 years of fighting, China had many problems: the country had little industry, what had existed had been destroyed after so many years of war, money was valueless, the towns had high unemployment, the countryside was experiencing food shortages; and if the countryside was not producing food, then the cities were bound to be short of food as well and China’s population was increasing by 14 million a year.

In 1950, Mao passed the Agrarian Reform Law. Party officials went around China to help with land reforms. Animals, machinery and land were given to the peasants.

In 1956, Mao announced that a period of debate was going to be allowed in China. He invited people to criticise and comment on the work of the Communist government. He said "let a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend". However, when he realized that every comment was negative,he got mad and he made them chased down.

In August, 1966, Mao Zedong called for the start of a Cultural Revolution at the Plenum of the Communist Central Committee. He urged the creation of corps of "Red Guards" to punish party officials and any other persons who showed bourgeois tendencies. Mao likely was motivated to call for the so-called Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in order to rid the Chinese Communist Party of his opponents after the tragic failure of his Great Leap Forward policies.

The Tiananmen Square also known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, June 4th Incident, or the Political Turmoil between Spring and Summer of 1989 by the government of the People's Republic of China, were a series of demonstrations led by students, intellectuals and labour activists in the People's Republic of China. On May 20th, the government declared martial law and on the night of June 3, sent tanks and infantry army to Tiananmen Square to break up the protest.

Nowadays, China is under Xi Jinping and he has adopted during the year has been in power a profile similar to that of Mao, with large posters with his effigy in prominent places of the cities, and that recall campaigns
