  • The Orchid Revolution (Chinese: ㄌㄢㄏㄨㄚ ㄍㄜㄇㄧㄥ; Lánhuā gémìng) refers to a period of political unrest in Manchuria that saw the toppling of the communist regime through the use of demonstrations, mass protests, civil disobedience and in some cases violence. It has sometimes been characterised as a colour revolution, and was part of a larger revolutionary wave that saw the toppling of communist regimes worldwide. The revolutions roots were found in mass dissatisfaction in communist party rule which was highly authoritarian, moreso after 1986 when communist party first secretary Tao Shiyou became more repressive after a brief period of liberalisation under New Communism. Economic stagnation had led to high youth unemployment and lower standards of living, resulting in may young people becoming disillusioned with the regime. In November 1989 several students flew the flag of the First Manchu Republic in the city of Dalian resulting in their arrest, whih subsequently led to a wave of protests against the communist regime. When Dalian party secretary Du Changhao released the students after public pressure the CPM tried to launch a military crackdown on the protests which had erupted around the country with opposition groups most prominently the Popular Front for Democracy and Revolution starting to organise. In December the secret police attempted to perform a crackdown in the largest city of Mukden which was repulsed by the Armed Forces as the CPM succumbed to factionalism. On the 13th December Tao was ousted by reformists led by Yuan Xiang who tried to pass economic reform before announcing multi party elections would be held in January. Protests continued until the premierial and constituent assembly elections which saw opposition leader Du Changhao elected to Premier in a 1990 as well as the Popular Front winning a majority in the constituent assembly. Shortly afterwards the Manchu People's Republic was dissolved as Marxism-Leninism was formally abandoned, being replaced by the Third Manchu Republic.
