• B. Land redistribution
• C. 60% of rural masses

Answer 1

The People’s Republic of China was against landlordism and imperialism. They focused on abolishing land control among the elite and redistributed the land to the farmers. The landlords were humiliated, as they were stripped of their position and forced to give up their land. Almost 43% of the arable land was distributed to 60% of the rural population.
