Project National Glory Republic of China plan to reconquer mainland China from the Peoples Republic of China

Project National Glory or Project Guoguang was a military attempt by the Republic of China (ROC) Armed Forces in Taiwan to try to recapture Mainland China held by the People's Liberation Army in the newly established People's Republic of China (PRC).

Great Leap Forward economic and social campaign by the Communist Party of China

The Great Leap Forward of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was an economic and social campaign by the Communist Party of China (CPC) from 1958 to 1962. The campaign was led by Chairman Mao Zedong and aimed to rapidly transform the country from an agrarian economy into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization. These policies led to social and economic disaster, but these failures were hidden by widespread exaggeration and deceitful reports. In short order, large internal resources were diverted to use on expensive new industrial operations, which, in turn, failed to produce much, and deprived the agricultural sector of urgently needed resources. A significant result was a drastic decline in food output, which caused tens of millions of deaths in the Great Chinese Famine.

A party reform charter was also adopted and a provision providing for a Vice Chairman was scrapped.
