Its economy was significantly hit with Japan’s invasion in 1930s after World War II when China regained its independence. In October 1949, People’s Republic of China PRC was established.

CCP used political campaigns and governing tactics from the start and this has become an implied feature of the Chinese politics. Different campaigns were used for the central planning cycle’s implementation. There were two types of campaigns. The first was transformation campaign and other is routine production campaigns. Work units are built and individuals in urban areas are made members of work units. Employment, social services and political control are combined and members of the work units are provided by the state with social welfare, health care and employment along with other necessity of life during their entire life.
These work units are classified and assigned work that contributes to the state economy,such as agriculture units and collectives units. Private properties became state owned in 1957 with different campaign, which was criticized by the masses.
