Question

Why was the Nationalist Party more popular in China’s cities than in the countryside? Wealthy people who supported the party were concentrated in cities. People in the countryside were less active in politics than people in the city. Poor city dwellers hoped the Nationalist Party would bring economic change. The Nationalist Party threatened to end crop trade with Western nations.

Answer 1

Why did support from people in the Chinese countryside help the Communists more than support from people in the cities helped the Nationalists?

A]Many more people lived in the countryside, so they made the Communists the stronger side.

B]People in the cities were confident that the Nationalists would win, so they remained passive.

C]In the cities, people had mixed feelings about which side to support, so they did not present a united front.

D]In the countryside, people were accustomed to nearly constant warfare and so were well prepared.

THE ANSWER IS A FOR EDGEN

Answer 2

Because the Communist Chinese actually fought the Japanese. As laid out in classic Confucian thought, the primary responsibility of a government is to protect the kingdom from the foreign barbarian. The Communists did this, the Nationalists did not. 2. Economic reform in the areas they controlled. The corruption of the powerful had been out of control for years in China. Like all revolutionaries, the Communists din the early years made an effort to end injustices. Peasants were treated as virtual slaves, and servants were basically slaves. 3. A surprising amount of support based on sexual equality. China's power system had always ignored women. The communists did not, and git a lot of support for it. A side bonus is that polygamy is not that popular with the men who aren't rich either. Russia may have had a network of secret police, but China had a network of grandmother's loyal to the government.
