Answer: (C)

The leader of the Chinese Communist Party during the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 was Mao Zedong. Mao played a crucial role in the Communist Revolution and was instrumental in the strategies that led to the defeat of the Nationalist government, which was led by Chiang Kai-shek. Under Mao's leadership, the Communist Party gained widespread support through various socialist policies and military campaigns, ultimately culminating in the proclamation of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. Mao's influence extended beyond the establishment of the state, as he became the Chairman and a key figure in shaping the direction of China in the years to come, impacting its political, social, and economic policies.
