Mao Zedong Propaganda

After the Chinese Communist Party overthrow the ROC government and seized power in 1949. The CCP has created false history to depict ROC’s ruling as a period of an “Old Evil Society” in order to emphasize the CCP’s seizure power and the legitimacy of its ruling.

However, recently Recently, we continue to see that the CCP positively redefined some of the historical legacy of the "evil society" and even make those become an important national propaganda campaign.

On September 3 last year, the CCP uncharacteristically held a grand celebration and an unprecedented parade on the anniversary of the Victory of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Furthermore, the official announced the first batch of 80 national-level memorial facilities as well as the list
