50 years later, China remains silent about Mao's death but preserves his legacy

China marked 50 years since Mao Zedong's death without any official ceremony or coverage in state media, in a demonstration of calculated silence about the founder of the People's Republic. Although the regime formally keeps his legacy untouched, with his statue in Tiananmen Square and the portrait in the Great Hall of the People, Beijing chose not to commemorate the anniversary, reflecting the persistent ambivalence towards his polarizing figure, responsible both for the founding of modern China and for policies that caused millions of deaths. The decision not to mark the date contrasts with the annual celebration of the founding of the People's Republic on October 1st.
