Yes you do. When I first studied US history in the UK, I was surprised to learn that a massacre can involve as few as five people. (Boston Massacre) In Chinese, massacre is translated as "tusha", and is most frequently used with Nanking, where 200k+ people were killed. Still the Japanese standard was too low for us. Then I learned the word 'genocide' which I thought at first is on the Chinese level of massacre. However upon some more reflection it becomes obvious that Chinese killing Chinese in the name of making the starved live better doesn't fit into 'genocide' as well. Perhaps our deeds need a brand new name. After all, no one had seen this since the dawn of men.
