The East wind prevails over the West wind

The East wind prevails over the West wind (Chinese: 东风压倒西风; pinyin: dōngfēng yādǎo xīfēng), alternatively translated as the east wind overwhelms the west wind, the East wind is prevailing over the West wind, or socialism will prevail over capitalism, is a slogan coined by Mao Zedong in the early 1950s, when he referred to the east wind as the socialist camp and the West wind as the Western capitalist societies. The implication of this statement is that the forces of socialism have overwhelmingly surpassed the forces of imperialism.
