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.

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'.

Are you contradicting yourself?

Frauddiver, you know the drill: show us how/where I'm contradicting myself.

It was a question. Are you contradicting yourself?

I see now. You were contradicting random. It seems the little pinks cannot agree on which way to spin 50 million dead Chinese people.

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.

True. It seems the little pinks are completely unconcerned about the 50 million people starved to death by the CCP, or the risk that they will repeat their lies and incompetence, as they did recently with covid.

You never did explain why you don't think the Great Chinese Famine is a truth that people deserve to know about. Why the feeble running away routine?

No, you claimed I was contradicting myself, then said you were merely asking a question. Now you claim I'm contradicting random...true to form - slippery frauddiver.

I spoke for myself, frauddiver, and by the way, feel free to show where I contradicted random.

I tried googling "do little pinks know how to identify a question," but all I got was the Chinese national anthem.

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?

Better to walk behind that tiger than face it head on.

A reliable way to identify a trolling shill is to count the ? marks.

Most posts end with a condescending rhetorical question. Your last post was refreshing.

So you don't think history has anything to teach us? Or just not the history of the millions of people killed by the CCP's lies and incompetence?
