Chairman Mao seemed bereft of any human love at all. He boasted about how he would have tortured his own father for the revolution. Chairman Mao’s wives and children suffered terribly, even when Mao had the ability to relieve their suffering. The mass murders committed by Mao Tse-tung surpassed any human in history. The Holocaust is estimated to have caused the murder of six million Jews and six million Christians. Estimates of Stalin’s victims hover around 20 million. Mao exterminated more than Hitler and Stalin combined. Professor Rummel, the world’s leading expert in such grisly studies, accepts the figure of around 38 million people killed by Mao. That is a number beyond our power to truly grasp. But the evil of Mao sinks lower. Stalin and Hitler secreted victims of the Gulag and the concentration camps. Specially trained and hardened operatives, men instructed and inured to inhumanity — the Nazi Gestapo, the Soviet Chekists, and others — did this dirtiest of dirty work. The camps were concealed, to a large extent, and victims were transported to them in cattle cars, away from the public eye. Mao compelled ordinary Chinese to become SS or MKVD operatives. Villagers were made to arrest the innocent, to denounce them in surreal accusations, to torture them in public, and to kill them or to maim them. Those who failed in their assigned roles as Soviet blue caps or Nazi camp guards were themselves, with their families, the next enemies of the state. Mao made the Chinese people as a whole descend to the special status of helpers in Hell. Chairman Mao did not limit his aggression to the Chinese. The Kuomintang, or “Party of the People,” headed by Chiang Kai-shek, reached an accord with Tibet. When did the current war of genocide against Tibet, so despised by chic leftists, begin? It started in 1949, after Chiang and the remnants of his forces retreated to the island of Formosa (Taiwan), establishing the Repubic of China there. Mao helped the worst regime on earth, the rulers of North Korea, gain and hold power. He battled with peaceful nations like India. Mao loved violence, torment, enslavement, and intimidation. Those were the food and drink of his life. Did Mao bring China into the 21st Century? No serious student of history can believe that lie. The “Great Leap Forward,” in which Mao absurdly demanded that farmers set up countless backyard steel mills, was a colossal failure. China today is a growing economic power, but that has been in spite of Mao, not because of Mao. The Chinese people are among the most diligent and intelligent in the world. The per capita income of Singapore, a predominantly Chinese island nation, is about $51,000 per year – a bit higher than America. The per capita income of Hong Kong, the old British colony now economically free but otherwise under the control of China, is about $48,000. The per capita income of Taiwan, the nation created by Chaing when he left the Chinese mainland in 1949, is about $30,000. What about Mao’s China, the product of his great revolution? China, today, has a per capita income of about $6,000 — five times lower than the “other” China on Taiwan, and much lower than other predominately Chinese nations which had been British colonies. The People’s Republic (as China is formally called) is the only Chinese nation with people substantially less productive than in other nations of the world. The legacy of Mao is uniformly awful. The murder of tens of millions no more brought prosperity or progress to China than it did to Hitler’s Germany or Stalin’s Russia. Mao was even more a monster and even less a genuine human than either or those savage tyrants. He impoverished China rather than enriched it. He crushed democracy and freedom rather than nourished them. He failed in every way except in what mattered to him: Mao, today, is a respected memory in the land he tortured and plundered so long. In some ways, that is his worst crime of all. Photo: AP Images

... Mao couldn't have "accomplished" all these feats without the help of his benefactors, Harry S Truman and George C. Marshall. Where would China be today without the "benevolence" of the United States? |

How to Make China Safe for Democracy Mao's status as the world's worst mass murder is well-established, and any educated adult should be aware of it. It was appalling when Nixon made overture's to Maoist China, setting in motion forces which have cemented the rule of China's Communist party down to this very day. Had we treated China as we did the USSR, it too would have collapsed by now. But we did not, and instead we admitted China into the WTO in 2001, the culmination of a process begun by Bill Clinton. The downside is the shift of millions of jobs and billions in capital investment to China (remember the "jobless recovery" of 2003? That's where the jobs went, and where they will keep going...) But those economic linkages also create pressure points. We as consumers can create a crisis for the Beijing regime by just refusing to buy anything made in China. It isn't always easy, but by rummaging store shelves or checking on the Internet you can usually find an alternative product not made in China. If China loses its US and EU export markets, its economy will stumble, it won't create enough jobs for its population growth, and the regime will come under immense pressure, possibly leading to transformation -- or collapse. DON'T BUY ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA. BOYCOTT THE 'MADE IN CHINA' LABEL. To see more about how to pressure China, go to www.FreeingTibet.com, read the Blog, and read the advice on boycotting Chinese-made goods. |

le Interesting information - now we can start our own war against goods made in foreign countries. The whole world is scared of China-made 'black hearted goods'. Can you differentiate which one is made in the USA , Philippines , Taiwan or China ? For your Information ... the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made. Sample: all barcodes that start with 690. 691 .692 until 695 are all MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan |

... Sorry, this is old data. The barcodes now are, I think, EAN/UCC-13 code. Haven't found out any of them, or by there countries. |

Mao was a murderous piece of slime worse than Adolf Hitler! Chiang Kai-shek was the greatest Chinese leader of the same era as Mao. But he was betrayed by the pro-Communist U.S. State Department and had to flee to Taiwan to set up the only free government in China. |

Reponse to richard xu Mao would be treated as a "god" by a complete fool or someone as morally bankrupt as a follower of Adolf Hitler. There was no difference (for all practical purposes) between Mao and Hitler or Mao and Stalin. |

Richard -all due respect...are you insane? please direct me to some pro-Mao literature. I've never even seen a person try to defend his reputation and the horrible acts he committed. Modern day China (the start of economic prosperity) may have come from Mao's influence (so you claim), but if the founding fathers of this country committed the same disgusting acts, I'd hardly be proud to flaunt it. |
