Summary: It investigates the transition in the balance of forces and policies favored by the Communist Party of China to achieve the modernization of the country between the eras of Mao Zedong (1949-1976) and Deng Xiaoping (1978-1994). The end of the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960) is presented as the beginning of a major disruption of the Party with Maoist leadership and modernizing mechanisms, a phenomenon that will be suspended during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The outcomes of this breakthrough will come with the leadership and mechanisms of the Deng Xiaoping era, when veterans expurgated in the Cultural Revolution return to the Party leadership and fail to privilege campaigns of ideological mobilization and collectivization of the means of production as a means of modernization Chinese. From that moment, the ideological demobilization, the policies of deselectivization and the reopening of the internal and external markets are now paired with central and local economic planning. This change guarantees an accelerated advance of the productive forces and the national economic growth, nevertheless bringing new challenges for the construction of a more modern and sovereign China in the internal and external planes. Deng Xiaoping's political life is adopted as the guiding thread for the entire exhibition, because of its close relationship with the national longings for modernization in different phases and the vicissitudes of the Party over an extended period.
