Which program was intended to overcome the backwardness of China's

The correct answer is - '' The Great Leap Forward''.

The Great Leap Forward was a program implemented by the Chinese communist party, with Mao Zedong in charge, and its goal was to make China a global superpower over time, instead of being a country in the shade of the others and struggling on every level.

China was in a bad position economically, its industry was not well developed, the technology was relatively primitive compared to the one the great powers had, and it had social problems as well, and all of that contributed that a measure and a plan is made as to how the country should and can progress and become a global political and economic player. Unfortunately for them, this measure was a big fail, and instead of making the country stronger, it actually made even more problems and put it in a worse position.
