Zhou served under Mao Zedong and was instrumental in consolidating the control of the Communist Party's rise to power forming foreign policy and developing the Chinese economy. Advocating peaceful coexistence with the West after the stalemated Korean War he participated in the 1954 Geneva Conference and helped orchestrate Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China. He helped devise policies regarding the bitter disputes with the U.S. Taiwan the Soviet Union after 1960 India and Vietnam. Zhou is best known as the long-time top aide to Mao Zedong specializing in foreign policy. . Zhou En-lai & the "Red Guards": Although Zhou En-lai announced the formal beginning of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution on 1 May 1966 at a massive rally to celebrate International Workers Day in Tian'anmen it was not until 16 May that the Politburo established the Cultural Revolution Group comprising Jiang Qing and other radicals. Although there is a general belief that the Palace Museum escaped the depredations of the Cultural Revolution thanks to protection extended by Premier Zhou Enlai this is not entirely true. . CHEN BODA: 1904-1989: He was a member of the Chinese Communist Party CCP a secretary to Chairman Mao and a prominent member of the leadership during the Cultural Revolution chairing the Cultural Revolution Group. . During the Cultural Revolution from 1966 until 1969 Chen Boda played an important role in the Cultural Revolution. In May 1966 he was placed at the head of the newly formed Cultural Revolution Group a body appointed by Mao established to oversee and direct the course of the Cultural Revolution. In time this group would rise to become the most important political body in China surpassing even the Politburo Standing Committee in importance. Chen Boda was also placed as head of the Communist government's propaganda machine. Chen also became a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo. . As the Cultural Revolution Group began to appear too radical for the liking of Mao & the leadership in Peking its influence began to wane and it was formally dissolved at the CCP's Ninth Congress in the Spring of 1969. . This marked the end of Chen Boda's involvement in the Cultural Revolution. As the leadership became more moderate in its outlook and the initial aims of the Cultural Revolution were sidelined Chen's radicalism caused concern and he was condemned as a 'revisionist secret agent' by the CCP's Tenth Congress in 1973. SEE: CULTURAL REVOLUTION OF 1966-1967-8 The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution commonly known as the Cultural Revolution was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966.
