Prospects of the New-Democratic Revolution

Mao Zedong pointed out: "Since China's bourgeois-democratic revolution at the present stage is not of the old general type but is a democratic revolution of a new special type — a New-Democratic Revolution — and since it is taking place in the new international environment of the 1930s and 1940s characterized by the rise of socialism and the decline of capitalism, in the period of the World War II and the era of revolution, there can be no doubt that the ultimate perspective of the Chinese revolution is not capitalism but socialism and communism.”

Then Mao Zedong emphasized: "Clearly, because of the colonial, semi-colonial and semi-feudal character of present-day Chinese society, the Chinese revolution must be divided into two stages. The first step is to change the colonial, semi-colonial and semi-feudal form of society into an independent, democratic society. The second is to carry the revolution forward and build a socialist society. At present the Chinese revolution is taking the first step.”

As put in the excerpts, Mao Zedong Thought answered the question of "Where is China going?" on the future of the new democratic revolution clearly and pointed out the right direction for the development of the Chinese revolution.
