Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is: He knew the Great Leap forward had been a success.

Explanation:

In 1966, the Chinese Communist representative Mao Zedong started with the Cultural Revolution. His main goal was to establish his power in the Chinese government. This Revolution marked his return to a position after a period of recovery of the Great Leap Forward. The Cultural Revolution damaged China's economy, while millions of people died or were persecuted in massacres across the country.

Mao officially declared the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1969, but its active phase lasted until the death of Commander Lin Biao in 1971. In 1981, the Party announced that the Cultural Revolution was responsible for the greatest setbacks and hardest losses suffered by the Party, country, and population since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
