Good question! First of all, I supposed the revolution you mentioned was one in 1980s, (because this one is most significant since The War2. ) I have to say it's a big question whatever on surface or essential part, you really need to know which level you expected, maybe it depend if you are really interested in this topic or just in order to finish some homework in school,;) I don't know what's your purpose, I just show my perspective as a native Chinese college student who major in Finance. I never judge this revolution is right or wrong, I think it's necessary for that situation which the whole country was poor enough, the less productivity, the innocence average residents and only controlled mind by CCP. ( I prefer to compare it with current North Korean). So, the future of China was obvious, die or reform. Luckily, the old leader passed away, the new leader did something helpful. Dang xiaoping understood what's really going on there very clearly, the only purpose for China's future is try everything for survival. The survival means give everything bias up, take essential part on top list like foods, productivity and useful resource, in a word, make more money!!!( decent expression is start a revolution in Chinese economy) It's the way at least more efficient one to save China in that worse circumstance which is learn form capitalism. My conclusion is very clearly now. The effect of China revolution in Chinese economy just like the effect on a human who gain survival in very dangerous situation. That's it. Of course, this topic could be very long story and a deeply study. If you really interested in, we can discuss more, not only this topic, but also funny topic we young people usually talk about. :p PC: I guess my English need more improvement, thanks for reading)
