This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
Mao Zedong's Man Made Famine - '...[Frank] Dikötter explains in meticulous detail the policies that led to the deaths of over 45 million people during the period 1958-1962: "Thanks to the often meticulous reports compiled by the [Chinese Communist Party] itself, we can infer that between 1958 and 1962 by a rough approximation 6 to 8 percent of the victims were tortured to death or summarily killed - amounting to at least 2.5 million people. Other victims were deliberately deprived of food and starved to death. Many more vanished because they were too old, weak or sick to work - and hence unable to earn their keep. People were killed selectively because they were rich, because they dragged their feet, because they spoke out or simply because they were not liked, for whatever reason, by the man who wielded the ladle in the canteen."...'
This book is total a lie. They don't know the real chinese history or have any real facts on their side. If you really want to know china, go to china and see by yourself and investigate. Mao is the most beloved leader in China and it is him who lead chinese to their liberty.
