Old Chinese and actual Chinese.

The history of China is very extensive, peculiar and interesting, but for practical effects it is possible to be divided in two: the old Chinese until 1949, and after this date the modern Chinese, when Mao takes the power and declares the People's Republic of China and begins a new one was that it fortifies with the death of Mao, because with the same policy of him, Chinese has advanced of strong way in its economic, political and social aspects, marking a great difference and a few similarities with the old China. First of all, one of the most important differences which were marking for this event is the political aspect. China before 1949 handled a political system based on feudalism; now a days the political system of China is based in the socialist system, which began with the took of the power for Mao. With this change of political ideas and with the died of Mao, the new government with similar ideas of Mao but a few capitalism practice to the globalization, now a days China has improved in a big form many kind of features like an education and jobs for the big china s population in the last 30 years. Another important factor that has been changed in the history of China, and principally since the died of Mao, is the economic aspect, then with the introduction of few capitalism practice aspects, the economy of china began to funded in the foreign investment, exportation of agric cultural products, and investment in industrial exploitation. The change is based in that China was an agricultural economy only. The most important similarity founded in the different texts consulted, show us that the only features that has not changed in the two Chinas, is the discrimination and the bad treat that the women have had to the long of the Chinese history. In order to conclude, China is a country which has been many changes to the long of its history, which are to admire and that has brought now a days many benefits for the china population in the most part of its aspects, although, for example the woman aspect has not changed much.
