What were the main tasks faced by the Chinese ****producing party in the early days of the founding of the country

Consolidating people's power and restoring the national economy.

Because of the domination of imperialism, feudalism, bureaucratic capitalism and the long war, the social economy was very backward and badly damaged before the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

Compared with the highest year in history in 1949, the total output value of industry was reduced by 50 percent, of which the heavy industry was reduced by 70 percent, the light industry was reduced by 30 percent, the coal production was reduced by 48 percent, and the iron and steel production was reduced by more than 80 percent. The total value of industrial output was reduced by 50% compared with the highest year in history. Grain production was reduced by nearly one quarter, and cotton production by 48%. Only nearly 10,000 kilometers of railroad lines are open to traffic, and more than 3,200 bridges have been seriously damaged. After the founding of the country, it was necessary to quickly heal the wounds of war and restore the national economy in order to consolidate people's power and improve people's lives.

On the basis of this central task, we purged the remnants of the Kuomintang reactionaries and bandits in the mainland, peacefully liberated Tibet, established people's governments in various places, suppressed the counter-revolutionary, carried out the "Three Againsts" and "Five Againsts" campaigns, and victoriously fought the war against the United States and North Korea. The war against the U.S. and against Korea was carried out; the socialist state-run economy was developed, and industry and agriculture, transportation and commerce were systematically restored. The State confiscated all bureaucratic capital enterprises, which accounted for 80 percent of the capitalist economy, and transformed them into socialist state-run enterprises, thus taking control of the lifeblood of the national economy.
