    It’s weird to see people pile on Mao for a massive regional famine but blink right past the Rape of Nanjing.

    Extra surreal when you know how many millions Chang-Kei Shek butchered before he was forced off the mainland.

    Even more so when you consider the explosion in wealth and prosperity enjoyed by a country that ended the 1940s with 400M people and entered the 2000s with 1.3B

    This, as Western nations have engineered famines from Haiti to Libya to Gaza to Afghanistan.

      What does Nanjing have to do with a comment about Mao?

      How are “Western nations” relevant to this conversation at all?

      I hope you stretch before you jump into these mental gymnastics, you might strain something.
