China peasants.Wo Shi Nong min chu sheng.Ni shi chu sheng!!!

Vice President JD Vance dismissed Chinas economic rise to prosperity as rising on the backbone of peasants.Like the French revolution that saw the rise of the proletariat against the nobility,elite class of rich landowners that oppressed the factory workers and poor farmers who overthrew the monarchy system,the revolution led by the Red Army to fight the imperialists Japanese depended on the grassroot support of the peasants to overthrow an inept emperor and end the Qing dynasty.The army was disciplined,non corrupt and respected the peasants who provided food,supplies and manpower to the army and in return the soldiers helped in agricultural labour.Mao introduced land reforms that won the overwhelming support of the peasants.
