Zhao Ziyang was persecuted during which period?

  • Great Leap Forward

  • Cultural Revolution

  • Hundred Flowers Campaign

  • Tiananmen Square

Answer

During the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Ziyang experienced persecution. This sociopolitical movement in China, spearheaded by Mao Zedong from 1966 to 1976, aimed to cleanse Chinese society of perceived capitalist and traditional elements. Zhao's support for economic reforms and opposition to the excesses of the Cultural Revolution made him a target of attacks and resulted in his removal from leadership positions during that period.
