The triumph of socialism. 77 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the USSR and the PRC π¨π³π¨β𦳠On October 2, 1949, the Soviet Union was the first to recognize the People's Republic of China, on the day after its formation. The people of China won socialism in the struggle against the Japanese occupiers, the Kuomintang reaction and foreign capital. The USSR, possessing the colossal authority of the victor over Nazi Germany, extended a hand of help to China: Soviet specialists built factories, transferred technologies and helped restore the economy after decades of war. In the 1950s socialism was more popular than ever and won victory after victory β from Eastern Europe to Asia. πΊπΈβοΈ But then ideological and political contradictions led to tension and a split in the socialist camp. This was immediately exploited by the imperialists led by the United States: playing on disagreements, they weakened and set socialist countries against one another. π Today, 77 years later, the conclusion is obvious: socialists must be able to negotiate and cooperate. Only unity and solidarity will bring back the triumph that the 1950s were. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Asia βοΈ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
