Between 27,000,000 to 40,000,000 died in the Great leap forward. Followed by 10-15 million dead in forced labour camps. We will never know the actual
number, but a conservative estimate is 77,000,000 people. Statistics don't matter, this must never EVER happen again. Yet it is. On a daily basis.
Why don't we impeach Bush? This alone is a sufficient reason, giving moral support to a genocidal regime which has changed NOTHING overall.
For Christ's Sakes... So the US enslaved millions of Africans, massacred Native Americans and stole their land, so what do you suggest? That was
history, and so was what Mao did.
Wow, you just don't get it do you? The government of China in the time of Mao and government of China CURRENTLY is not even comparable. Seriously, I
suggest you learn more about China before making these ridiculous suggestions as "impeaching Bush for giving moral suppot to a genocidal regime."
That just proved how ignorant you are of China.... seriously. It's a totally diffrerent country from when Mao reigned, and now. You
CANNOT EVEN
COMPARE. What Mao did was wrong, nearly all Chinese know that his mass murders were wrong and most Chinese despise it. But what you are saying is
completely ridiculous. It's like saying America is an evil nation because it has enslaved millions of people in the past and has forced milions more
Native people out of their land and has massacred many of them. Ridiculous huh?

Look at this video of brutality in Tibet, oh sure things have changed since then:

Again, are you seriously going to base all Tibetan lives on that video? It's like me seeing a video of a Black guy getting beat up by a White cop and
thinking that's how life is for every black guy in America. Ya kno what I mean? For Christ's sakes if you go to China and ask any Tibetan, they KNOW
that because of China, they have risen out of a Dark Age society, they have electricity, running water. They live in civilized societies and towns.
Ask any Tibetan and they will tell you how life is before China and how much improved it is now. Even the Dalai Lama said Tibet needs China and has
quoted
"Tibet is backward. It's a big land, rich in natural resources, but we lack
the technology or expertise (to exploit them)."
"So if we remain within China, we might get a greater benefit, provided it
respects our culture and environment, and gives us some kind of guarantee."
"China is changing for the better."
"So, for our own interest, for Tibetan interest, we remain part of
People's Republic of China,"
He pointed out he was not seeking separation and said he believed Tibet
would benefit by remaining part of China."I think all Tibetans want more
prosperity, more material development," he said. "It's a poor society."

Seriously though... At least gain a little bit of knowledge of China and don't be so damn hypocritical, before you start uttering in here again.
