Do you know about The Great Chinese Famine due to The Great Leap Forward (Backward) under Mao?
Between 18 million and 45 million starved to death due to failings of centrally planned economy. The single biggest man made disaster in the whole of humanity history.
The today success of China can be traced to Deng Xiaoping opening of the country and the free market reforms the so called socialism with Chinese characteristics.
- recursivedoubts 6y agoI am quoting David Rockefeller, an important member of the ruling class in America, to give context as to why the west might be becoming more like China.
- blaser-waffle 6y ago> important member of the ruling class Bullocks. He was a rich dude who didn't know dick about what was happening in China. At the time the CCP was recovering from the horrible starvation of the Great Leap Forward, and the over-the-top excesses, murders, and repression of the Cultural Revolution. That quote is a rich dude talking out his ass about shit he didn't know.
- baybal2 6y agoNo, > That quote is a rich dude talking out his ass about shit he didn't know. He knew it very well, but still chose to lie. I don't think the guys was that much of a complete idiot. This is pretty much like how the current American establishment tries to sell Americans the rationale for its bizarre alliance with the Saudi tinpot kingdom. And it is also completely no wonder how Saudis started to get into trouble with USA the moment they started to close the door on American money.
