Answer:

In the 1950s, Americans were afraid of communism because of the widespread belief that communist ideology would infect the country and persuade citizens to turn against democracy and capitalism. This rampant fear and suspicion caused many people to dread not only communism, but being accused of communist sympathies themselves. Americans also feared communism in the form of the Soviet Union, a communist, rival country which had proven itself a viable military threat through its nuclear weapons program.

The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to preserve 'true' Communist ideology in the country by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Maoist thought as the dominant ideology within the Party. The Revolution marked the return of Mao Zedong to a position of power after the Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and significantly affected the country economically and socially.
