Five decades after Mao Zedong's death, almost everything has changed in China, with one central element remaining unchanged: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) remains in power. The founder of the communist regime died in 1976 and left a legacy that is still celebrated in the country.
Mao remains popular among the Chinese people, and the current political leadership continues to extol his achievements while downplaying his errors. His role as the founder of the communist regime is constantly remembered and valued in the party's official narrative.
However, the China that Xi Jinping currently governs is above all the result of the prosperity generated by the reforms implemented by Deng Xiaoping, who took power after Mao's death and opened the Chinese economy to the world.
