Solution

The likely intent of the poster is C: To gain support for Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward program.

Here's why:

  1. The poster is from 1960, which is during the time of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward program (1958-1962). This program was a campaign by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led by Mao Zedong to transform China into a society capable of competing with other Western industrialized nations, within a short time period.

  2. The caption of the poster, “Start the movement to increase production and practice thrift, with foodstuffs and steel at the center, with great force!” aligns with the goals of the Great Leap Forward. The program aimed to rapidly transform China's economy from agrarian to industrial, which included mass steel production and increased agricultural output.

  3. The other options are less likely: Deng Xiaoping's leadership came after Mao's, so it wouldn't be relevant to a 1960 poster (Option A). The poster doesn't specifically encourage migration to cities (Option B). And while Mao's regime was certainly against the spread of democratic ideals, this poster is more about economic production than political ideology (Option D).
