Had Mao not observed the shortcomings of the command economy the USSR was pioneering? If so‚ why didn’t he reform and adapt to the realistic needs of the Chinese people? Even if Mao didn’t live to see his country adapt to a more modern time‚ his successors did.

The two powers decided to rule the two duchies jointly‚ with Austria administering Holstein and Prussia administering Schleswig.
