This chapter examines the Mao-era foreign policy line that harnessed revolutionary ideology to serve regime security and the leader’s prestige—a “Communist” dictatorship fundamentally opposed to American capitalism and its constitutional order of separated powers. The Korean War, the wars in Indochina, overseas revolutionary organizations, aid to dictatorial regimes, border conflicts, and enormous foreign aid expenditures consumed lives and resources during a period of domestic poverty and even famine. One must distinguish among the demands of national security, the export of ideology, international responsibility, and the consequences visited upon ordinary foreign populations. CONCRETE ENTRY POINT. While the population at home remained mired in poverty and even hunger, resources were channeled into war, foreign aid, and overseas revolutionary organizations; guns, training, propaganda, and organizational techniques carried the Party-state’s mode of rule into other societies. SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION BOUNDARY. This chapter includes only material directly related to “The Mao-Era Export of Revolution Abroad: Bloc Confrontation, Intervention in War, Support for Dictatorships, and the Politics of Foreign Aid (1949–1978)” — its ideas, institutions, events, implementation, victims, and lines of responsibility. Terms used in the catalog such as “evil, terror, plunder, enslavement, deception, and crime” are openly stated value judgments or characterizations of mechanism; they must be supported by verifiable fact, and every major figure must be recorded with its source, its basis of counting, and its range. Sharpness does not mean lowering the standard; it means refusing to use neutral language to conceal concrete harm Folder · PG-E
