Please write 3 to 5 paragraphs per question. (There are five of them) It must be specific based on historical facts and your opinions on questions too. I do not need any citation or quotation. Please take a look The search for modern China by Spence.

1. One part of China's 20th century story is the massive expansion of the bureaucracy from the end of the Qing to the end of the century. What did the bureaucracy look like at the end of the Qing? What new functions did the state take over in the Republican Period? In the PRC? Your answer should explore the level of penetration into society (for example, county, village, individual, etc.) and the organization of the bureaucracy (party, state, military, ministries) as well as state functions (i.e. economic planning, population management). What does this expansion mean for the state and its citizens? How does the PRC state reconstitute its relationship with the Chinese people across time (i.e. across key dates such as 1949, 1979, 1989 and so forth)?
2. For the first decade of CCP government after 1949, the state pursued policies of "socialism" (as opposed to "new democracy") and collectivization. What did this look like in rural and urban areas? How did the new regime remake China's economy and society in the 1950s? Please consider the collectivization of industrial enterprises as well as agricultural production. After 1979, Deng Xiaoping introduced the mechanisms of the market and began the difficult process of de-collectivization. What did this look like in rural and urban areas in the 1980s? What problems were/are there in the process? Please take into account issues of economic growth as well as social equity.
3. All of the features of Mao's political thinking and strategy, one might argue, might be found in his essay "Report on the Hunan Peasant Movement (1927)." Describe how the PRC sought to institutionalize or deploy the logic of the "Report" during the years 1949-1976. Do you find resonance of Mao's early declarations, for instance, in the slogans of the Cultural Revolution? What were the relevant policies, campaigns, and legislations concerning marriage, property ownership, worship, or cultural and economic hierarchies instituted after 1949 that might have impacted upon traditional (pre-1927) conceptions of village society and its power relationships? Please draw on your readings of Mao, Mittler, and Spence to trace the trajectories.
4. Did Deng Xiaoping initiate a new regime to rectify the Maoist legacies? Or did he call on Mao to ensure the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party? How did Deng engineer the political transition between the death of Mao and the rise of "Four Modernizations"? What was the significance of Deng's "opening-up" to the United States? In what way did Deng's turn to the West impact upon the everyday life of people on the street, including women in Shanghai in the 1990s? Please analyze and elaborate.
5. Please connect the dots among the following terms: special economic zones, the Pudong development project, June 1989, "Chongqing Model," overseas Chinese capital investment in China, corruption, regional disparities between coastal and inland China, spatial disparities between the country and the city, gender disparities between men and women, floating population, middle-class urban China. Please choose at least 4 "dots" for your answer. Is China ready to lead the world in the 21st century? Will the rise of China lead to a reconstitution of the global order? Please state your case one way or the other. If it is/does then what are the problems and why? If not then why not? What are China's problems and what does it take to sustain its rise?
