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.</span>
