China
Communist guerrillas led by Mao Zedong seized control of China
in 1949. For China, that meant murder, slaughter, torture, famine,
impoverishment, corruption and a terrified, inward-looking society.
Millions of people regarded as exhibiting the slightest negative
behavior with regard to communism
were considered enemies of commu-
nism and arrested for no crime at all,
imprisoned, and often killed in public
executions in the squares of large cities.
It is estimated that in that period 6
and 10 million people were killed
under Mao's directives. Some 20 million
people branded as "counter-revolution-
aries" spent much of their lives in
prison, being treated like animals.
The Tiananmen Square Massacre in
June 1989 (around 1,000 dead) is just one example
of savagery from China's recent past.
Policies in the field of agriculture resulted in
terrible famine and suffering for the people of
Chinese communism developed and came to power with the
support of Stalin's Russia. But the savagery Red China inflicted
on the people was so terrible as to leave even that of Stalin's
in the shade.
