For 5,000 years, Chinese civilization has been built and flourished on land fed by the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. Dozens of dynasties have ruled here and an unprecedented civilization was created. This civilization also saw many ups and downs in its period of thousands of years which were quite exciting.


The outline of modern Chinese history is decided from the year 1840. It is believed by historians that this is the period when China started moving away from medieval traditions and towards modern times.


Since then, Chinese civilization can be understood mainly through four major developments that broadly influenced China's public opinion as well as its geographical, economic and historical background.


This period of great development began with the capture of Beijing by the British and French in the 1860s. After this, the Sino-Japanese war took place in the year 1894. After this, in the year 1906, there was a war between Japan and Russia in the north-eastern regions of China.


As a reaction to all these incidents, the Westernization movement, system reforms and the resulting revolution in 1911 came to the fore in China.


After World War I, many Chinese believed that the first three reactionary measures taken by China were all failures, so preparations were made for a fourth reaction.


As a result of this reaction, complete westernization was done culturally which was called leftist movement (communist movement) with extreme revolution.


Leftists publicly declare that their goal can only be achieved by violent overthrow of all existing social orders. The Communist Manifesto, the ultimate text of the leftists, also says the same.


Leftists never fail to say that if violence has to be done at any level for the sake of power then it is justified. After all, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese dictator Mao Zedong had clearly said that “Power comes from the barrel of the gun.”


Violence is the means by which the Communist Party comes to power and, if analyzed closely, is also their most important means. This is the first idea that was adopted from the very first day of founding the party.


In fact, the first Communist Party was formed many years after the death of Marx, in whose name many communists raise the flag of communism all over the world. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union was officially formed in the year 1917 during the so-called October Revolution.


Formed in 1917, the Communist Party was born out of violence against “class enemies.” And thereafter, this violence against its own people continued unabated.


During its so-called internal purge, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union massacred more than 20 million people whom the Communist Party alleged were spies, traitors, and subversive elements.


When the Chinese Communist Party was formed, it was a branch of the Third Communist International, controlled by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and as such it inherited "violence."


After this, the so-called civil war began between the Chinese ruling Kua-Min-Tang and the Chinese Communist Party, which continued from 1927 to 1936. During this period, the population of Jiangxi, China decreased from more than 2 crores to a little more than 1 crores.


After gaining power in 1949, violent activities by the Chinese Communist Party far exceeded any violence committed in the previous 30 years.


If we talk about the support of the Chinese Communist Party, the Khmer regime of Cambodia was supported by the Chinese Communist Party and as soon as it gained power, it massacred a quarter of the country's population. A large number of Chinese citizens were also among those killed.


It is also important to know that the world's most dreaded and brutal separatist characters and cruel regimes also had the support of the Chinese Communist Party and all of them had deep connections with the Communist Party.


Apart from the Khmer regime, the Communist Party of Indonesia, Communist Party of the Philippines, Communist Party of Malaysia, Communist Party of Vietnam, Communist Party of Burma, Communist Party of Laos and Communist Party of Nepal were also formed with the sole purpose of supporting the Chinese Communist Party. Many of his party leaders were Chinese and there were some who went to China and took training.


Maoists of India, Bright Road of South America, Red Army of Japan, whose sole objective is Maoism and are infamous for their brutal terror, are also believed to be related to the Chinese Communist Party.


The main source of the theory of communism is the theory of evolution. But the Communist Party tried to capitalize more on class struggle in social development and according to them class struggle was the only driving force for social development and progress.


This was the reason why reiterating the class struggle became an essential principle for communist parties around the world to gain power and maintain their existence.


Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong said that "the Cultural Revolution must happen again in 7 or 8 years."


The whole world knows how under the guise of Cultural Revolution, Chinese Communist dictator Mao Zedong got all his rivals eliminated or put in jail. Lakhs of people were killed indiscriminately across the country. College students were made to kill their own teachers.


It was as if the whole country was madly bent on destroying its own house. But despite all this, Mao Zedong's thoughts say that such a revolution should happen again.


In fact, it is the rule of the communist regime that in order to preserve its power, violence should be repeated again and again and an atmosphere of fear should be created. The only purpose of violence is to create an environment of fear.


According to communist ideology, every struggle and movement is like a training of fear which is given to the cadre of the Communist Party.


At present terrorism has become a scourge for the entire world. But when communist violence and terrorism are talked about, no major discussion is seen on it. Today, in the 21st century, we all should understand that the Communist Party's core gene is violence and it can never get rid of it.
