Although the tensions during the 1989 student demonstrations and the Chinese Communist Revolution were equally rooted in both the conflict between state and market and between state, collective and individual, one difference was evident. Peasants were dissatisfied with the government's planned economy during the Cultural Revolution, but in 1989 market-based reforms angered all social groups except the one in power. Selden's article illustrates the two challenges China faced during the Communist Revolution: achieving economic prosperity while maintaining political power, and keeping tension between state and individual to a minimum. Similarly, the tensions behind the 1989 student demonstrations echoed the two issues China encountered during Mao's rule. His insistence on a command-based economy during the Communist Revolution aroused opposition from the peasants; on the other hand, Deng's move towards a socialist market economy garnered the animosity of all social groups, excluding the one in power. Selden argues that China's attempts to take advantage of the market without losing political power created tension between the individual, the collective, and the state during the Chinese Communist Revolution. Chairman Mao came to power facing a backward economy and a politically unstable nation, but promised to create a united, strong, and economically prosperous China. To achieve this goal, he developed a two-phase plan. During Phase One, the moderate phase, it aimed to support the middle and lower peasants. Furthermore, it protected entrepreneurs to promote economic growth. Having the ability to maintain their property rights, citizens were incentivized to work harder and provide paper... they believed that economic and political reforms were inefficient and that the government had too much control. Industrial workers, low-level bureaucrats, party officials, the army and the police constituted the "too far away", who protested because their fixed incomes excluded them from the benefits of the reform and threatened their power in the inside the company. They wanted to return to traditional cultural and moral practices. However, the initial reforms satisfied the senior bureaucrats and the peasants, who finally prospered after a long period of poverty. However, peasant support for Deng eroded after state investment in agriculture declined, leaving senior bureaucrats as Deng's only supporters. Considered the root of the problem, bureaucrats did nothing to alleviate the widespread discontent; as a result, the “not far enough” and the “too far” have united behind their common discontent with the government.
