Party until his death. (1893-1976)
Cultural Revolution - answer-An effort launched by Chinese Communist Party
chairman Mao Zedong during his last decade in power (1966-1976) to renew the
spirit of the Chinese Revolution. Young and dedicated Red Guards attacked and
bullied intellectuals, and those that lacked revolutionary fervor. Some were sent to
work farms to be re-educated. The havoc it created caused Mao to abandon it.

presidents in 2018. Xi was subsequently re-elected in 2018 to a second five-year

considered by some to be dictator. (1953- )
