The West should learn about foot binding and palace Eunuchs history of China, both of which have last more than thousands years, so that the west can know what kind of people chinese really is.

40 million famine deaths.
*mao - soz about that....

[@sujitkumardas911]

Was famine a product of revolution in china? That time, china had to go through severe drought. Could a newly-formed state with most backward agriculture and ecomomy cope with that natural disaster? Remember, more than 30 lacs indian people died in man-made famine in brtish india in 1943. The then british government, under winston churchill, was solely responsible for that man-made famine. One should go through study of history( not fake western history) before going to make foolish comments on important historical events.

Go outside your home and there is famine people now. if not, the police took care of it so you dont see it. They still out there.

@@sujitkumardas911oh it absolutely was, to disregard the domestic agricultural policy would be a huge mistake. Even if you ignored the purges and the like.
