The proposed changes to boost the Chinese economy that caused Mao to launch the oppressive Cultural Revolution included allowing workers to compete for wages, capitalist reforms that Mao viewed as anti-Communist, and to allow farmers to sell their excess crops.
The Cultural Revolution was launched by the Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong to reinvigorate the spirit of the Chinese Revolution.
In the 1960s, Mao was worried that China would adopt the Soviet model which he felt was a betrayal of the Russian Revolution. He was also concerned with his diminishing role in the government.
He felt that the economic policies adopted by his colleagues to revive the Chinese economy after the failed Great Leap Forward policy were against the spirit of the revolution. These included reforms on worker’s wages and sale of agricultural produce.
