Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hi Connie, Thanks so much for your reply. You have hit the nail on the head. Hitler, Stalin and Mao were all mass murderers. Here is some info for those who wish to learn. QUOTE Mao, like Stalin, indisputably murdered more people than Hitler. He tyrannized the world's most populous nation for more than a quarter century; and while by most counts his victims were somewhat less numerous than Stalin's, the range of error makes it quite possible that Mao Zedong was the greatest mass murderer of the century... With the aid of Soviet advisors, Mao set up a Chinese Gulag - an empire of slave labor camps filled with poorly fed " counter- revolutionaries. " As under Stalin, the prisoners could be anyone: former landlords, better-off peasants, civil servants under Chiang's regime, and eventually out-of-favor members of the Communist Party itself. By most estimates, the typical slave labor camp population during Mao's reign was between 10 and 15 million... Far more Westerners are familiar with the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 than have heard of the millions slaughtered by Mao. An estimated 2-3,000 - and possibly as many as 12,000 - protesters may have been killed in 1989 on the orders of Deng Xioaping. Plainly, Mao's death has not eliminated widespread killing by the Chinese government... All told, the Chinese government has probably killed somewhat less than one million people in the twenty years since Mao's death... www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/bcaplan/museum/comfaq.htm#part3 ENDQUOTE China is still a barbarous regime and its word cannot be trusted in general and in particular with regard to whether or not Avian Bird Flu had or had not mutated to infect humans.
