Chinese "communes" were:
A. Communist Party committee cadres.
B. urban districts established by Mao Zedong.
C. the modern equivalent of the traditional cottage industries in pre modern China.
D. agricultural communities containing more than thirty thousand people.
answer D
Well, I suppose D, but I do not think communes were that large as a rule.
Yes, D.
To determine the correct answer, we can first start by understanding what Chinese "communes" referred to during a certain period. The term "communes" in China is commonly associated with the Great Leap Forward campaign implemented by Mao Zedong in the late 1950s.
During this campaign, the Chinese government attempted to promote rapid industrialization and agricultural collectivization. As part of this effort, rural areas were organized into large agricultural communities called "communes." These communes were essentially massive collective farms that aimed to increase agricultural production through collective labor and shared resources.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the correct answer is D. Agricultural communities containing more than thirty thousand people. These communes were typically composed of thousands of households and were responsible for the cultivation of vast areas of farmland.
