ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author explains the two weaknesses points of China. First, in the past China was a colonial and semicolonial country, not an imperialist power, and was always bullied by others. Its industry and agriculture are not developed and its scientific and technological level is low, and except for its vast territory, rich resources, large population, long history, The Dream of the Red Chamber in literature, and so on, China is inferior to other countries in many respects and so has no reason to feel conceited. Second, our revolution came late. Although the 1911 Revolution which overthrew the Ch'ing emperor preceded the Russian revolution, there was no Communist Party at that time, and the revolution failed. The victory of the people's revolution came in 1949, more than thirty years after the October Revolution. The two weaknesses are also strong points.
