    An actual chinese person calling it “The Great Chinese Famine” sounds quite suspicious regarding their intentions, much like tinyman massacre. That’s not what they call it, probably because despite the x approaching infinity estimates by western chucklefucks, it wasn’t even the worst famine of the century. (It sure as shit was the last though)

    Of course they brought up the cultural revolution in the same breath as a famine. There were mistakes to be sure, but there was no intention to divide the people in such a way. Not to mention, these mistakes were learned from. As opposed to liberal regimes, which only learn from their mistake of not suppressing leftist movement enough to correct that. All else is a farce with them.

    Guy’s telling us to live in China; fool, don’t threaten me with a good time.

      What was the worst famine that century?

      Incidentally, the name they used is a common one for the event in English, though so is “CCP”

        I’m not sure but off the top of my head the Qing famine of 1907 claimed ~25 million lives. You’re right on the CCP part, I change it in my head every time so I didn’t even catch that.
