Preferred term

Mao Zedong  

Definition

  • Chinese leader who climbed to the head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and controlled the People's Republic of China (PRC) from 1949 until his death in 1976. The implacable U.S. hostility toward communism, as well as U.S. support for the nationalist Chinese state of Taiwan (the Republic of China, the ROC), made Mao a bitter foe of the United States. [Source: Encyclopedia of United States National Security; Mao Zedong (1893–1976)]
