Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, led by Mao Zedong in China from 1966-1976, aimed to purge capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society and promote Maoist ideology. As part of this movement, China became increasingly isolated from the world, cutting off diplomatic ties with many countries and reducing international trade. While it did build some schools and businesses, the overall impact on the Chinese economy was negative due to the disruption caused by the Revolution. Thus, the best choice is C, as it accurately reflects one of the major consequences of the Cultural Revolution.
