Building a New China, Colonizing Kokonor: Resettlement to Qinghai in the 1950s

摘要

Qinghai Province was created by the Kuomintang (KMT) in 1928 when it was ruled over by the Muslim warlord General Ma Qi. Its remoteness precluded it from much of the ensuing chaos of the Sino-Japanese and civil wars until the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) incorporated it into the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1 January 1950, although resistance against CCP rule continued throughout the 1950s.
