For many years, China’s economy ran and was fueled by agriculture, but that all changed with the struggle of power. In 1949 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took over and founded the People's Republic of China (PRC). Mao Zedong, the Party’s leader, decided to steer away the country from agriculture and pursued the development of heavy industry as a means to submerged the country in a self-contained industrial economy (O’neil pg. 391).
