I’m ignoring all your points because he’s been a grown man for over double what I’ve been alive
So you want formerly-evil-now-senile-people to suffer?
and is a huge hateful piece of shit.
and if he suffers in his senility, this hate will be cured?
I literally don’t care about anything you typed tbh
Then why do you respond?
Are you talking about wp:OECD member states whose combined population might be 50% more numerous than was Maoist China?
I understand many, however I suppose we can both agree that the emperors were evil, as was Chiang and Japan in the 1930s and first half of the 1940s.
Yes: “every mouth has 2 hands.” IIUC, Mao was a pro-natalist.
China seems to have done better/less bad under Deng and the 2 child policy.

I’ll have to check out the housing and health, but other countries might also have improved such without things such as the so-called “Cultural revolution.”
I wonder where China would be without Sun Yat-sen or even Chiang.

Perhaps Mao could have done it without the millions of deaths.
The USSR was the first country to recognize Israel.

It seems that things are a bit nuanced here.
IIUC, a pariah state and one with little diplomatic relations, helped each other, including working on nuclear weapons.
While I’m sure many in the far left would be indifferent to the PRC taking Taiwan, perhaps supportive of it, Taiwan itself would rather maintain independence, if only a de facto independence.
Meanwhile, many of us seem to be okay with gender apartheid in many Muslim-majority countries.
I think the PRC was/is far worse at genocide.

Hmmmm, interesting.
Also, it seems some Muslimphobes in right-wing circles in the West support what China is doing with its Muslims.
The US somewhat abandoned Taiwan in the early 1970s to exploit the Sino-Soviet split.
It seems some of the PRCs neighbours—India, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan—are heavily armed.

IIUC, a depicted 3-way between a pro-Moscow Communist, Maoists, or quasi-Maoists, and the network.
