  1. The China I grew up with in the 70s the China visited by Richard Nixon was than a country of millions of small peasant produces in farming and a developing industrial sector. Many of these people are now old. Taiwan was under British rule and had a corrupt reputation. The US was more interested on splitting China from Russia and there were differences between China and Russia that could be troublesome. One was whether capitalism was essential a stage to go through to modernize. Russia skipped over capitalism but Russia did not have a billion people in a small land mass. At this point, I think the Chinese CP and the Russian CP, were divided on Collectivization. Not the way for China to increase output. China had a billion people to feed. Modernization would not feed the population unless agriculture was as developed as US agriculture. Entire villages in China were large extended families that cultivated China’s soil. Now that these folks are older China built large apartment buildings. Old villages becoming urbanized employment industries. Some places have six stories apartment buildings that are occupied by relatives of one large family in all apartments in today’s China. Younger generation of workers come from all parts of the country to work in factory cities are away from their families for several months before they see them again. A father leaves to work in a city-factory when his child is in diapers and returns when his child can walk is how afar apart industrialized cities are.
