  "Murder" by its definition has to have intention in it. Framing "the great leap forward" as murder qualifies as propaganda in my book. It was indeed a horrible, human life neglecting catastrophic event, conducted by fanatic extremists imposing their ideology on others. Or rather a series of it. In effect manslaughter on mass scale - yes. But you cannot compare that in honesty to the holocaust - where with gas chambers the clear intention was to murder an entire race. Such framing is not helping anything, definitely not with communication. And about the list of chinas wars ... did you actually compare that to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_mi... ?
