Explanation:

After the inception of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, following the communist revolution under the leadership of Mao, its economy was based on the Soviet model, which was based on Communism or somewhat similar to socialism.

The Red Book in the picture denotes Socialism.

Mao Zedong promoted a form of Marxism-Leninism known as Maoism or Mao Zedong Thought. This ideology adapted Marxist-Leninist theory to the Chinese situation; it emphasized peasant revolution, small-scale industry, agricultural collectivization, and promoted the cultural and ideological transformation of Chinese society, often through radical means such as the Cultural Revolution. Mao's ideas also placed a strong emphasis on class struggle and continuous revolution to achieve the final goals of communism.
