Anyone admiring Mao should read up on the Great Leap Forward.
I agree, but not for the reasons you likely believe. The Great Leap Forward ultimately improved food security and industrial capacity, even if it was mishandled and ran into problems. By the end of the Great Leap Forward, industrial output had doubled as compared to before, and agricultural output was also higher (though not quite as much).
CW for genocidal racism
“I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace unless we get rid of the Negroes. Certainly they cannot, if we don’t get rid of the Negroes whom we have armed and disciplined and who have fought with us, I believe, to the amount of 150,000 men. I believe it would be better to export them all…”
- Abraham Lincoln
https://archive.org/details/autobiographyper0192butl page 903I mean, the Han get a lot more privilege than many other minorities in the PRC (case in point: Uyghurs, Tibetans). Get real.
Both Uyghurs and Tibetans have minority protections and better representation in the NPC than Han Chinese, to the point that chuds in China complain about them being more privledged by the state than Han.
Could you name some privileges a Han Chinese person has that I don’t?
Do Han people in China have to listen to this lib shit? Real privilege if they don’t.
Get real
Saddm Huessein is building nukes, there is a white genocide in South Africa, Nicholas Maduro is the head of a cartel, and Iran blew up their own girl’s school. Get real.
Jesus fucking Christ I was not ready for a concentrated dose of U.S. Republican conspiracies
Correct, all of those things are conspiracies, although the Iraq one was bipartisan. All conspiracy theories concocted to justify omnicidal US militarism, just like all the tired bullshit about evil China.
A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.
“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.
“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

No one calls it “East Turkistan” except the Salafi-jihad terrorists who the US funded.
The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.
The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.
Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

Genocide is more than just killing, it’s the deliberate destruction of a people including its culture and institutions.
(a) Show me the Uyghur bodies
(b) Show me the serious bodily or mental harm
(c) Show me the conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part
(d) Show me the measures intended to prevent births within the group
In accordance with China’s affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas.
(e) Show me the forcible transfer of children from one group to another group
violent incidents in East Turkestan
I wonder where those Salafi terrorists came from? Oh right: the US, UK, and Israel organized, funded, and trained them, as they did Al Qaeda and the various flavors of ISIS/ISIL, including the “moderate rebels” that just took over Syria.

I had a Uyghur friend who called it East Turkestan 👀
East Turkestan
Various experts and international organisations have described the physical destruction of Gaza, the loss of thousands of innocent lives and property, and the forced exodus of its population as “ethnic cleansing” and even as “potential genocide". Muslims around the world have united to support the Palestinian people’s struggle to safeguard themselves from Israel’s aggression.
However, there is an Islamic organisation that stands in solidarity with Israel, overlooking the history of Palestinian suffering and openly supporting Israel, the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), based in Germany’s Munich city.

No? Mao spent decades at war in some of the most brutal conditions possible, then successfully ended regular famine in China forever.
What about the Great Leap Forward? 20+ million died
When a country emerges from extremely underdeveloped agriculture, famine is still a constant threat. Early PRC history involves famine as a result of not yet having developed out of conditions famine thrived. It wasn’t something as mechanical as “do a socialism and then people die.”
And Lincoln and the rest of his elites were starving and abstaining from going to dances and plays while the newly freed slaves starved were they? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jun/16/slavery-starvation-civil-war
