Off topic, but are you implying that Mao was 'good people'? It seems that for the Communist 'dynasty', it fell apart immediately - that is, it never got anywhere. I'm not sure the Communist dynasty is any worse than the Qing or Ming or others before it, at least in that respect.
- gottorf 3y ago> are you implying that Mao was 'good people'? No; Mao was a dictator, and the country suffered so much under him that there was an informal agreement between the leaders of the country after him that power should be distributed among multiple people (the Politburo), and that no one person acting as the paramount leader should be in power for over 10 years. That system lasted for roughly 50 years, with Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping at the helm. The last of whom, of course, decided he didn't want to be bound by that pesky 10 year thing anymore. So there was a short streak of "good people", which is over.
