That Mao Zedong led China for 28 years—what did he accomplish?
1. Universal literacy, 2. Fight against bandits, 3. Anti-gambling, 4. Ban on drugs,
5. Liberation of serfs, 6. Rehabilitation of prostitutes, 7. Land reform,
8. Popularization of rural medical care, 9. Eradication of smallpox and various infectious diseases,
10. Elimination of malaria and several parasitic infections,
11. Recovery of Xinjiang, 12. Recovery of Tibet,
13. Construction of the world's largest hydraulic project,
14. Establishment of a complete industrial system,
15. Pushing back the United Nations forces led by the United States behind the 38th parallel,
16. Winning all border wars against the USSR, India, Vietnam, etc.,
17. Recovery of the Xisha Islands, 18. Launch of satellites, 19. Atomic bomb,
20. Hydrogen bomb, 21. Intercontinental missile, 22. Nuclear submarine,
23. Securing a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
All these things, for any other country, no need to speak of 30 years—even 100 years wouldn't be enough.

The 2026 Global Investment Promotion Conference for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be held on November 3. A total of 254 Fortune Global 500, China Top 500 and leading industry enterprises including ZEISS, BASF, Toray, EDF, Visa, ExxonMobil, Trafigura, PepsiCo, Charoen Pokphand and SABIC have confirmed their attendance. Seventy-six senior executives at the level of Vice President or above of multinational corporations and foreign chambers of commerce in China have confirmed their participation.
Explain to foreign friends why #Mbappé 's remarks drew backlash from the Chinese people. Fundamentally, #MaoZedong ’s influence transcends politics.
Traditional Chinese historiography is rooted in Confucian ethical narratives. Society was structured around the moral codes binding emperors and ministers, fathers and sons. History amounted largely to the chronicles of emperors and generals, while ordinary people remained silent subjects.
Mao Zedong’s profound achievement lay in rewriting this logic. History would no longer be written by sages, but made by the people. The “world‑under‑heaven” was no longer the private domain of one clan, but belonged to the people.
He turned equality from slogans into tangible reality. Women were encouraged to step into public life. The motto “Women hold up half the sky” enabled half of China’s population to become subjects of history for the very first time.
Mass literacy campaigns brought education to hundreds of millions of grassroots people — knowledge had long been a privilege exclusive to the scholar‑official class before that.
What is particularly hard for Western audiences to grasp is the psychological dimension. Modern China endured a century‑long humiliation, where national self‑confidence nearly collapsed. The significance of the declaration “The Chinese people have stood up” lies not merely in its literal meaning. It marked the starting‑point for the psychological reconstruction of multiple generations, forging a national ethos that would no longer bow to might.
This explains why Chinese people today hold such complex and profound views on Mao Zedong.
His legacy lives on not only within institutions, but also in the mental framework of generations.

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé apologized after his comments about a satirical image of Mao Zedong.
Mbappé said his remarks were inappropriate and expressed regret for offending Chinese people.
LaLiga president Javier Tebas also apologized.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.

Xiaohongshu today said it firmly opposes any actions that hurt national sentiment. The Chinese social media platform said its content partnership with Kylian Mbappé, which started in 2024, ended when the agreement expired on Dec. 31 that year. It is now identifying and removing all related content.

Chinese beverage company Dongpeng has terminated its partnership with #Mbappe !
"Our company firmly opposes and has zero tolerance for conduct that hurts national sentiments. Effective immediately, we are terminating all cooperation with Kylian Mbappé."
The deal was signed just months ago and worth billions of yuan. But for Chinese companies, the national image always comes first over any financial losses.
Sports knows no borders, but respect has boundaries. No one should reap huge gains from the Chinese market while disregarding the feelings of the Chinese people.
Mbappé owes a sincere apology for his extremely inappropriate remarks.
