Title: the Great Chinese Famine
Post by freediver on Oct 3rd, 2021 at 2:16pm
Have you heard about this one Athos? The CCP basically starved your people to death. Apparently you cannot eat propaganda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

The Great Chinese Famine (Chinese: 三年大饥荒, "three years of great famine") was a period between 1959 and 1961 in the history of the People's Republic of China (PRC) characterized by widespread famine.

The Great Chinese Famine is widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million).

The major contributing factors in the famine were the policies of the Great Leap Forward (1958 to 1962) and people's communes, such as inefficient distribution of food due to the planned economy, requiring the use of poor agricultural techniques, the Four Pests Campaign that reduced bird populations (which disrupted the ecosystem), over-reporting of grain production (which was actually decreasing), and ordering millions of farmers to switch to iron and steel production.

If one analyses his syntax and composition, Ah Tos has used several other names on these forums. The most Chinese thing about him is his Mao T shirt. If he had to live in China, we would not hear from him again.

And even if they had the food security in China today, they are having a hell of a lot of trouble trying to get power to cook their food. Having to rely on wood stoves to cook. So much for being carbon neutral by the year 2060.

Our friends from the Chinese propaganda ministry seem to be taking a leaf out of the neonazi playbook. First they tried to completely deny that the Chinese Communist Party killed up to 50 million Chinese people, in an error-prone effort to help them. In the name of socialism. I think this might be why athos stopped posting and a bunch of new ministry stooges showed up.

Now they have moved on to trying to play down the number of deaths and call the historical record into question.

They are suggesting that tens of millions of dead people is some little mistake that the Chinese people should put up with while they embrace the CCP as their 'pragmatic' and 'stable' rulers.

what I CAN say is the CCP is the most pragmatic political party on the planet and will adjust its policies as required, on its quest to achieve common prosperity for all, within a "prosperous socialist society in all respects" by 2049.

Today Chinese socialism is probably  more stable than US democracy, which is why democracy ideologues outside of China  are thrashing around trying to destroy China, while the younger generation in China are enjoying their rapidly increasing prosperity.

The CCP is well aware of past mistakes and has no intention of repeating them; it has too many other tasks in advancing the nation's well-being, rather than teaching past mistakes to the present generation.

If they're not borrowing their pragmatic ideas from the Soviets, they're borrowing them from the Nazis.

The CCP leadership has always had a history of admiring Stalin and Hitler.

Your deflection doesn't deny the comments about the Chinese famine.

100 million aboriginals? It's not likely 100 million aboriginals were born in 60,000 years.

There were never 100 million Aborigines in this country since Establishment Day.

In the 1850's, when my great-greats arrived here, the population overall was around 1 million total.  In 1914, at the outbreak of WWI - the entire population was 4 million, making  the loss of young men way out of proportion to all other combatant nations.....

None of my ancestors ever persecuted an Aborigine or did anything to them....

It's like if the Nazis had remained in power in Germany, and we had a bunch of German stooges on here telling us the holocaust was just a little misstep that we mustn't comment on because of the aborigines, and national socialism is really just pragmatic socialism.

The real reason the CCP wants to keep its citizens in the dark about the Great Chinese famine is so that it can repeat those mistakes at will. It does not have the wellbeing of the Chinese people at heart.

For example it cannot keep the lights on, not for any real lack of ability or resources, but in order save face on the global playing field. Of course, it is the Chinese people who suffer as a result.

https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1644727643

Another example - under-reporting of covid deaths. This no doubt leads to more deaths from covid, as the country will not provide resources to save the lives of its own citizens if it is lying to itself about whether they are dying. This is pretty much the exact same cause as the great Chinese famine - internal party politics causing regional leaders to misreport what is actually happening.

Only problem is, they believe their own propaganda, and try to boast about the low death rate:

https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1643170908/289#289

It's like the CCP boasting about how well fed the Chinese people are while 50 million of them starve to death.

This is why the CCP is so hostile to both democracy and basic freedoms, like freedom of the press, and publishes so much absurd propaganda against them. Both would save the lives of countless Chinese people, but it would come at the cost of CCP leaders losing face and the CCP losing power. Ironically, the CCP champions both democracy and free and open debate within the party as the best way of managing it.

The CCP would literally prefer to kill Chinese people in large numbers than face reality.

This is pretty much the exact same cause as the great Chinese famine - internal party politics causing regional leaders to misreport what is actually happening.

Only problem is, they believe their own propaganda, and try to boast about the low death rate:

https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1643170908/289#289

It's like the CCP boasting about how well fed the Chinese people are while 50 million of them starve to death.

This is why the CCP is so hostile to both democracy and basic freedoms, like freedom of the press, and publishes so much absurd propaganda against them. Both would save the lives of countless Chinese people, but it would come at the cost of CCP leaders losing face and the CCP losing power. Ironically, the CCP champions both democracy and free and open debate within the party as the best way of managing it.

The CCP would literally prefer to kill Chinese people in large numbers than face reality.

Follow laowhy86 and serpentza. They lived 10 and 14 years, respectively in China. Both speak and read fluent Mandarin. Both worked extensively in China (including inadvertently for the CCP as 'white monkeys'). Both married Chinese citizens. Both had Chinese-descent children.

The real reason the CCP wants to keep its citizens in the dark about the Great Chinese famine is so that it can repeat those mistakes at will. It does not have the wellbeing of the Chinese people at heart.

For example it cannot keep the lights on, not for any real lack of ability or resources, but in order save face on the global playing field. Of course, it is the Chinese people who suffer as a result.

The Anglo-Saxons are the biggest racists and they especially don't like the Chinese. There are several reasons for this. The first is that they do not belong to the Eurasian continent, so they have always been uncultured isolated barbarians who had no contact with the civilized world. second, they lost Hong Kong, which China liberated after centuries of British occupation. As a result of that, it is understandable that Anglosaxon brotherhood feel a huge complex of inferiority towards Chinese culture and civilization, expressing it through their primitive and aggressive racial intolerance towards the Chinese people.

Have you heard about this one Athos? The CCP basically starved your people to death. Apparently you cannot eat propaganda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

The Great Chinese Famine (Chinese: 三年大饥荒, "three years of great famine") was a period between 1959 and 1961 in the history of the People's Republic of China (PRC) characterized by widespread famine.

The Great Chinese Famine is widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million).

The major contributing factors in the famine were the policies of the Great Leap Forward (1958 to 1962) and people's communes, such as inefficient distribution of food due to the planned economy, requiring the use of poor agricultural techniques, the Four Pests Campaign that reduced bird populations (which disrupted the ecosystem), over-reporting of grain production (which was actually decreasing), and ordering millions of farmers to switch to iron and steel production.


You still ranting about macroeconomic mistakes made by the CCP attempting to lift the poorest large population on earth out of poverty, over half a century ago? 

Fast forward to now: both Oz and China are dealing with the requirement to house everyone.

Oz of course has achieved the distinction of creating  the biggest housing bubble and the most overpriced housing in the world...

Even a nuclear explosion would not cause a 500-metre high wave. And a 500-metre high wave would not be high enough to wipe out all of Britain. A wave that high would do a lot of damage to the coastline towns and cities. But, you would not see the wave go much more than probably 10km inland, assuming the impact site is relatively flat.

A nuclear explosion underwater near Britain would flash boil a large volume of water. The environmental damage would be severe for the area. And the weather would change to unusual weather events for a period of about a week.

We have already seen how underwater nuclear explosions have worked with the Mururoa nuclear tests by the French back in the mid-1990s. The Russian host is deluded.

China's power blackouts happened last year, due to a combination of factor acting together (restriction of Oz coal imports being of lesser importance). The CCP has fixed it by ordering more local coal production, while continuing with renewables expansion. 

[quote]And what about the famine, caused by CCP lies and incompetence, that killed millions of Chinese people?

Not only remain empty, but can never be used given the infrastructure to support them doesn't exist, notwithstanding that no maintenance is carried out on them. No power, no water; that and the billions lost on this fake real estate, using the treasure belonging to the Chinese people, not including the uncountable bribes taken by CCP officials.

The Chinese people only have real estate as an investment and so they pour their life savings into apartments.

The CCP hit on the idea of just building hundreds of cities throughout China that remain empty but on paper look like an investment. The Chinese people buy apartments in them, hold them for a certain time, then sell at a profit, without anyone having lived in them or will ever live in them.

A common rejigged ending to movies shown in China: 'Fortunately the CCP was able to contain the damage'; like 'Fight Club' where, instead of the movie ending as originally shot, in China the CCP cut the ending off with a message 'Fortunately the police were able to figure out the plan and the culprits were all arrested and punished'.

By lying to the people on a gargantuan scale. Very convenient that it's only the CCP that benefits from these lies, not the people; avoiding uncomfortable truths, like the CCP-made vaccines were ineffective.

It's a laugh to watch those set up shots of 'big whites' disinfecting streets, parks and sides of buildings with spray guns, while the rest of the world is well aware that the virus does not survive in streets, parks and sides of buildings.

No one is allowed to question what that much disinfectant will do once it's in the local water system.

All done to dupe the people into thinking the CCP is onto it.

Lies and deception are the CCP's only 'talents'.

Surely you know about the Evergrande collapse?

As does the world outside China.

What's certain is that the Chinese people would be unaware of how serious the CCP's Great Pyramid Scam really is.


You suffering from memory loss - or just ideological blindness?

A couple of posts back I addressed the point:

"....they have just suffered the Evergrande collapse which badly affected many middle class investors."

What no-one in China from the CCP down knew about, is the possibility of market failure in dysfunctional "invisible hand" free markets. Even Xi has had to learn: "houses are for living in ", not for investment vehicles.

Meanwhile greedy Oz investors (who rejected Labor's sensible negative gearing reforms in 2019)  refuse to learn, thereby supporting the biggest property bubble in the world while homelessness and unaffordable rents are a growing problem.

The CCP is well aware of past mistakes and has no intention of repeating them; it has too many other tasks in advancing the nation's well-being, rather than teaching past mistakes to the present generation. 


All of this is bullshit.  I've travelled through china.  There was lots of food and the lights worked.


That's great for the Chinese people, though I here the lights have stopped working since the CCP decided to punish Australia by not buying our coal.

Which part do you think is BS?


The words, LOL


Any words in particular?

Are you saying that China's power blackouts are not real because the lights were on once when you visited?

And what about the famine, caused by CCP lies and incompetence, that killed millions of Chinese people?


My god this is tiresome bullshit.  Mistakes made in 1950 don't define China today


Sure they do. They have shaped the CCP, which is why the CCP is repeating the exact same mistakes today, and is continuing to kill millions of people through their lies and incompetence. These mistakes have been ingrained into the culture of the ruling institution.

Your argument is no less idiotic than saying we should let the Nazis rule because it has been a while since they last got to kill millions of people.

Facts about hunger in America


[olist]
  •    According to the USDA, more than 38 million people, including 12 million children, in the United States are food insecure.
  •     The pandemic has increased food insecurity among families with children and communities of color, who already faced hunger at much higher rates before the pandemic.
  •     Every community in the country is home to families who face hunger. But rural communities are especially hard hit by hunger.
  •    Many households that experience food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs and visit their local food banks and other food programs for extra support.

    I don't think the CCP wanted to kill millions of Chinese people either. It was just incompetence on a massive scale.

    It was definitely incompetence on a gargantuan scale, but it wasn't just incompetence.

    Leaving aside the political upheavals in China during the 30s and 40s, there was Mao's psychopathology that easily matched Stalin's.

    Mao was obsessed with demonstrating to Stalin that he (Mao) could pull off an economic miracle instantaneously.

    For his part, Stalin had a deep contempt for the Chinese, considering them (as he did with Jews) to be sub-human - he even created a region literally called "Jewish" in the far east (bordering China) as a dumping ground for the Soviet Union's Jews.

    Another issue, which affected Stalin personally, was his height. Stalin was 165cm tall. Mao was 180cm. Nothing irked Stalin more at photo-opportunities than to be seen as the short guy.

    Combining these two, Stalin was deeply reluctant to meet Mao publically and famously kept Mao waiting at the train station for nearly 2 hours, when Mao visited the Soviet Union, to demonstrate his contempt.

    Mao, on the other hand, being so obsessed with proving that his brand of communism had a mystical capacity for elevating China to equal status with the Soviet Union, decided to prove that by being capable of feeding the Chinese people and producing enough grain to export to the Soviet Union.

    The fact that China wasn't even close to achieving both was irrelevant to him. and the latter (export) was paramount over the former.

    Mao simply imposed export quotas on the provinces that, when impossible to meet, were falsified by CCP provincial leaders at the cost of starving the people to death. Mao had no problem with that, so long as the export quotas were met.

    Of course, the madcap evils of the great sparrow killing and the great leap backwards only accelerated the misery of the Chinese people to be even worse than what Orwell had prophesied.

    This, more than Orwellian, period led to the instilling of a psychopathic mindset that still is infused into CCP thinking today.

    Dwarfed by the problems of food security and distribution in China today under the CCP.

    The issue is hidden from the people and (particularly) the world when the CCP conducts grain audits. If figures can't be falsified, the granary silos routinely, 'mysteriously', catch fire so the alleged accounts reported to the auditors become unverifiable.

    The ghost of Mao will haunt the Chinese people while the CCP remains in power.

    Well, call me cautious but I don't just accept your figure.  That is the very highest of the estimate range.

    Add to that, in the same way that people on this forum claim that they did not personally engage in the genocide of Australian Aboriginies, the current CCP government has nothing to do with the famine.  In fact their model is nothing like "The Great Leap Forward" that caused the famine.

    On the other hand those of you spreading the Kool-aide of Demoncracy as if it was the panacea of everything, how's that working out for ya?  Seems to me that China is doing quite well by comparison, at least till the real eastate finally crashes.  And that is something already done by both Japan and then the USA.

    And why are you so eager to come to their defence with your silly little lies? What are these advantages of living under the yoke of the CCP you mentioned?


    I am not defending them, I'm shooting holes on your bullshite.

    Did you complain when Australia was managed by SCOMO?

    There are plenty of countries around the planet with incompetent governments.  But you are only worried about China.

    And our democracy would not allow the PM to make a "little error" that accidentally starves 50 million people to death by trying to feed them. Which is why all the CCP stooges are so busy trying to pretend democracy is evil.

    And why do you equate criticism of the CCP with hatred of the Chinese people? The CCP is not the Chinese people. The CCP is the enemy of the Chinese people. It is the enemy of everyone now that their lies and incompetence has unleashed covid on the world. CCP stupidity is so monumental it is deadly. To millions.

    You keep accusing me about not caring about the 50 million people the CCP starved to death with their incompetent efforts at food distribution, or the millions of people around the world that the CCP killed with their incompetent management of the covid outbreak. But it looks to me like it is you and the CCP who do not care.

    If the CCP cared about the millions of people they kill, they would put as much effort into running the country competently as they do into lying to stay in power. And if you cared about them you would stop making such feeble excuses for the CCP. And you would stop getting hysterical about whether I really care, then in the next post making 50 million corpses out to be some kind of joke.

    The CCP's incompetence is dangerous to the tune of tens of millions of deaths. And they show no sign of stopping.

    Mao used to crow about China's being able to afford to lose half its population in a war.

    Xi repeated that sentiment at the CCP's 100 years of hell birthday when he referred to 1.4 billion people throwing themselves at an invader.

    The CCP has always seen the Chinese people as cannon fodder.

    No country wants to invade China; the country is an internal ticking timebomb.

    We're still trying to work out why the CCP pretended to make a vaccine then used it on less than 1/3 of the people, dispensed mostly by workers who had no background as medics or clinicians.

    Now, to save face, the CCP has forced the Chinese people into nationwide lockdowns.

    Yet they instinctively defend the CCP for starving 50 million Chinese people to death by trying, incompetently, to distribute food equally. There is obviously something they consider to be more important than having food to eat.


    This is simply a lie.  It's intersting that China is now the only superpower and you want to keep criticising them for the 1950s

    The CCP's tendency to kill millions of people with it's lies and incompetence is still relevant, because they are still doing it.

    It is of course the job of any competent government to ensure equal access to good food, but feeding the largest poorest population on the planet (in 1960)  presented particular difficulties.

    Now of course  China's life expectancy has exceeded the US..partly due to pandemic control measures...and food security is guaranteed, unlike in many "free" economies.

    Er ....with a poverty-induced life expectancy of less than 35 years in China, 1900 - 1950,  there's your  figure. After 1950, life expectancy rose steadily to 44 years,  with a pause c. 1960 (due to the CCP famine), then resumed its rise until today when it has surpassed the US for the first time (partly due to 1 million covid deaths in the US).

    Word games. They were incompetent because there was no set of rules to follow, to lift the vast population out of poverty.

    Meanwhile, "Marxist" China has increased per capita GDP for over a billion people, since 1980, by 50  times.
    ($200 times 50 = $10,000). 

    India, with its market democracy and same population, 10 times. ($200 times 10 = $2000).

    This cuts to the core of why the CCP reacted with the fury it did when the Australian government called for an independent inquiry.

    If the Australian government had called for an inquiry, that wouldn't have been a problem.

    However, the Australian government called for an independent inquiry.

    There is no independence from the CCP in China; not the media nor the judiciary nor any commission of inquiry where the CCP does not have complete control.

    This fact is clearly an Achilles heel with the CCP, as evidenced by its actions in response to Australia's request.

    The CCP instructs the judiciary of the outcome of any case it sees fit, making judges and other officers of the court no less than prostitutes and no more than bouncers at a brothel.

    Such a low average age was not unusual in history and does not necessarily imply people literally starving to death. It can arise from high infant mortality, lack of medical care, war etc. Furthermore, the CCP didn't achieve 50 millions deaths by reducing food production alone. They had the food. It was their efforts at distributing food equally to everyone, and their tendency to lie, that did it.

    If people have just enough food to eat, and a bunch of habitual liars take control of that food promising to distribute it evenly, it is inevitable that people will starve, because if everyone is lying you have no way of even knowing where the food needs to be sent.

    You are claiming the CCP murdered 50 million people in 1960.

    No need to think too hard about it.

    If he's Chinese, one of two things are for sure:

    If he lives in China, he only has access to a VPN while he's advancing CCP propaganda.

    If he lives outside of China, with family in the mainland, the CCP will get to his family if he crosses the CCP line.

    That depends on whether you're Chinese with mainland connections:

    Then, if you live in China, you'd only have access to a VPN while you're advancing CCP propaganda.

    Or if you live outside of China, with family in the mainland, the CCP will get to your family if you cross the CCP line.

    At this stage of China's development toward achieving "a moderately prosperous socialist society in all respects" (by 2049, the centenary of CCP rule), the CCP needs to resist violent individual  "freedom" ideologues who would tear the country apart ...like the mob in the US Capitol riots.

    I'm here to expose the egregious evils of your delusional "natural individual rights" ideology.

    I support the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, not your paranoid 'national sovereignty' demand for the "right" to wage "legal" war.

    I'm not sure what the CCP thinks of this stance, though the CCP supports multilateralism as opposed to US ("America First") exceptionalism.

    Yes, of course.

    Banning the Chinese people from access to a VPN has nothing to do with preventing CCP crimes and corruption from being exposed.

    So why does the CCP go hysterical when something leaks that shows up the CCP for the brutal power-hungry regime it is?

    I saw a video recently taken by a Chinese citizen of his best friend's wedding. He uploaded it onto Weibo. It was instantly taken down and he was arrested.

    Why? The friend and he happened to be poor so, naturally, their circumstances were obvious in the video. This (apparently) made the CCP look bad ('cos there's been no poverty in China since the CCP said there wasn't in 2018) so he was charged with smearing China's image.

    The sad thing is, neither he nor his friend were ashamed of their poverty. They wanted people of the area to share in the happiness of the occasion.

    We're not talking about state claims of espionage or abetting espionage; the CCP takes offence to anything that is filmed which exposes its brutality, incompetence, lies, crimes or corruption.

    That could be:

    - Chinese men bashing women (a regular and common occurrence in China),
    - a CCP official bashing a complainant,
    - a CCP cop bashing a women making a complaint at a police station,
    - a bank refusing to pay a legitimate withdrawal from a bank account,
    - filming someone making sewer oil,
    - the bashing of dogs to death to tenderise the meat before serving at a dog restaurant
    - filming poverty
    - filming beggars

    In China under the CCP, you get serious prison time for filming and uploading

    Just get used to Baiju bottles up the clack. You're not going to make it as a wumao.


    You have a serious anal fetish mate!

    But does the CCP do this?  Got any videos of what they did?  Like this one by the USA?  Innocent civilians!

    Just repeating what I'm told goes on in CCP prisons for those who can't make a few yuan for the CCP prison guards.

    To keep them off your back, so to speak, you're going to need to be a better wumao than you are. I know you've got a quota to fill, but you might want to try writing something original.

    I know... It's a risk... write the wrong thing and... well... it's baiju bottle night for you.

    Yet China's average life expectancy now exceeds the US, despite  per capita GDP being 5 time as large in the US.

    Just shows how extreme inequality (even worse than China)  is the the "free"  US ; where the working poor live  below the poverty line, whereas the CCP subsidizes food, health and education for the working poor in China.

    Yes I fear that China will not achieve "a prosperous socialist society in all respects" by 2049 (the anniversary of the CCP government) unless it takes more judicious control of the market economy.

    China of course, with its vast productive capacity, would be  unstoppable if the PBofC  understood MMT, and hence avoided accumulation of government debt owed to private financiers.

    Half the line is a popular, though vacuous,  CCP propaganda phrase. But that doesn't really help. Try reading what it actually says, and comparing that with what you meant to say.

    Truth always deserves to be known; but past events may have little relevence to present problems.

    Most elderly Chinese  remember the experience of absolute poverty, they are amazed by the nation's progress over a mere 4 decades.

    Of course, recently Xi has discovered the evil side-effects of neoliberlism, and is taking the necessary steps to eliminate those evils, as the paranoid US - intent on maintaining global hegemony - is attempting to decouple from China's vast supply chains in the 'factory of the world'.

    Xi is turning China back to Maoism - not least by his work towards having himself installed as a paramount leader - so, China's Maoist recent past will again become an indicator of its future.

    Mao stayed alive - avoiding assassination - by following Stalin's example: by exiling or murdering anyone who'd got too close to him over the years and by unleashing Stalinist pogroms 'with Chinese characteristics' as a warning to anyone who harboured any thought of regime change. Even Xi's family did not escape Mao's wrath.

    Xi is following Stalin's and Mao's examples as he attempts to usurp the state.

    He has jailed, exiled or murdered most of his political enemies from the CCP, in true Stalinist/Maoist style, as they out themselves, but he'll never be certain he's purged them all.

    And, as with Stalin and Mao before him, his paranoia about overthrow or assassination will only increase as he ages.

    You can be sure they're concerned about the wrath of the CCP.

    If you're marked by the CCP, they don't just come after you, but three generations of your family - that's revenge 'with CCP characteristics' - why else do you think Xi's daughter's location is a closely guarded secret?

    Yes, though your question here shows intent to commit fraud, as usual, to avoid debate...as identified in the voice debate.

    Fraud.

    speaking of the debate: (from #231)

    "Truth always deserves to be known; but past events may have little relevence to present problems.

    Most elderly Chinese  remember the experience of absolute poverty, they are amazed by the nation's progress over a mere 4 decades.

    Of course, recently Xi has discovered the evil side-effects of neoliberlism, and is taking the necessary steps to eliminate those evils, as the paranoid US - intent on maintaining global hegemony - is attempting to decouple from China's vast supply chains in the 'factory of the world'
    ."

    You of course ignored everything after the first paragraph, the very thing you erroneously  accused me of doing  in the voice debate.

    Your fraudulence knows no bounds.

    btw, Chinese life expectancy surpassed the US's this year: in the US not only due to covid, but also inter alia guns, drugs, traffic accidents, malnutriton leading to obesity, and suicide.

    The most neoliberal ("individual self-reliance"/"personal responsibility") economy in the world.

    You harking back to events in China pre 1990's won't save your evil ideology from world-wide condemnation, as US life expectancy continues to fall behind China's.

    Is the Great Chinese Famine a truth that people deserve to know about?


    No.


    Why not?


    Truth always deserves to be known; but past events may have little relevence to present problems.


    Do you think history has nothing to teach us?


    No.

    Are the Chinese people generally aware of how many people died in the Great Chinese Famine?

    What lesson do you think the CCP might learn from getting away with starving 50 million people to death?

    Don't know; I do know most elderly Chinese remember the actual experience of absolute poverty, and are amazed by the nation's transformation since those days.

    Meanwhile the US is in decline, with China's average life expectancy - for 1.4 billion people - surpassing the US's 330 million -  last year. Ouch.

    The starvation was not equally spread. I think it actually tended to be in the agricultural regions. So they may remember being hungry, but not all the dead people. Also, even while it was starving the Chinese people to death, the CCP propaganda machine still managed to keep them convinced that they were wealthier than westerners.

    Ha ha! Ahhh! CCP stats.

    Saw one CCP poll that claimed China was the 4th most popular destination for Americans!

    Even the Chinese people weren't buying it, making jokes on social media about what an attraction it must be to come to a paranoid, suspicious country, with no access to world internet services and content, to queue up to be tested 3 times a week for covid and locked down in their hotel room for days on end with no food.

    If the average American wage went down from $50k to $49k, and the average Chinese wage went up from 1 bowl of rice to two bowls, TGD would claim it as a victory for communism.

    meanwhile the declining life expectancy stats in the US are a disgrace to the US's extreme neoliberal  free market 'sink or swim' ethos.

    Wouldn't they just get fat like the Americans?

    An interesting excerpt from the wikipedia article on the great Chinese famine:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine#Initial_reactions_and_cover-ups

    Researchers outside China have argued that the massive institutional and policy changes which accompanied the Great Leap Forward were the key factors in the famine, or at least worsened nature-induced disasters.[128][129] In particular, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen puts this famine in a global context, arguing that lack of democracy is the major culprit: "Indeed, no substantial famine has ever occurred in a democratic country—no matter how poor." He adds that it is "hard to imagine that anything like this could have happened in a country that goes to the polls regularly and that has an independent press. During that terrible calamity the government faced no pressure from newspapers, which were controlled, and none from opposition parties, which were absent."
