Communist governments attempt to create equality in the society by taking ownership of industry and land. The land is then redistributed equally among the workers of the land to create equality. Government regulated industry allows the government to regulate hours and wages for the workers in theory making sure all of the profits are returned to the workers.
The USSR and China both used this method in moving their countries from their previous government to a communist system. The focus for the USSR was regulation and ownership of industry whereas China focused on collecting farm land and redistributing to all the people. Both methods were used in each country, but each focused on different industries because their revolutions came from different bases. The USSR had a revolution led by workers and in China it was led by peasants.
during its classical period Japan was highly influenced by Chinese culture. the influence of buddhism confucianism and other elements of chinese culture had a profound impact on the development of japanese culture.
