    One thing the video missed. Mao himself caused the famine. He ordered sparrows and other birds to be killed because they were a nuisance and they were losing crops. Then came the mosquitos and locusts. They lost way more crops to the locusts and the mosquitos were way more of a nuisance. Just to stop losing crops farmers had to over use pesticides. This is why a lot of stuff from China is questionable.
    My parents and grandparents lived through “The Great Leap Forward.” My grandparents were doctors and educators. People Mao didn’t like.
    Fortunately my parents immigrated to the USA and my brother and I were born here.
    Still people seem to have a worship or fear of the guy. Growing up in the US I’ve insulted and protested quite often. I’ve had my parents talk me out in fear of being arrested. I’ve had to remind them that I live in the US. As long as I don’t cause any major trouble I can say whatever I want.

    • @Sahtoovi
      @Sahtoovi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      I think that you massively oversimplified the causes of the famine following the great leap forward.
      First of all the harvest was bad due to things like flooding for example. Secondly, a lot of farmers had been moved to industry because someone thought it was a good idea, which is really the only part that can be called poor planning. Then also, an "expert" from Russia told people to farm in a specific way which didn't work on Chinese soil so a lot of crops died. On top of that local governments were misreporting food production so the central government didn't even know that a famine was starting to take shape and therefore couldn't react.
      The famine was an unfortunate result of unlucky events and incorrect information. None of it was intentional like many people like to say, and Mao didn't cause it.

      The ones who ran away to form Taiwan in a democratic system have been way more successful than China by many measures.

All in the name of Mao and communism. This kind of cruelty and humiliation happened to many many people in china. interesting thing is, my grandma as well as most senior citizens in china still worship communism and especially Mao.

      Well, by centralizing all power on the State and making them dependent on the State, and thus no longer self-sufficient.
      People were not allowed to eat what they produced. Everything went to the State, and the State redistributed as it saw fit. This redistribution was often inefficient. Some of the areas that had the most famine, were also areas that produced the most, but they could not eat the food they produced themselves. They had to wait for the State to feed them. The extra transportation and logistics reduces efficiency, and lack of insight and speed by the government causes people to go hungry.
      All farms and tools were appropriated by the State, and collectivized. People were divided in parties, and these parties would have to meet monthly quotas of production.
      Hungry people get weak, and weak people produce less. They wouldn't be able to meet their quotas, and thus would be penalized and receive less food as well. It became a vicious cycle.
      Farmers were forbidden to use their own techniques, instead being forced to follow instructions provided by the State. Many of the new techniques propagated from this were later found to be prejudicial and inefficient.
      Because of the severe penalties for not meeting quotas, lower officials started over-reporting their production. This led the higher brass to believe they had more grain than they really had. The people who would distribute the grain would notice the lack of it, but couldn't report it either. If they reported grain missing, they could be deemed responsible for losing it. Thus people higher up would think there was more grain going around than in reality.
      The State identified that part of the yield was being eaten by sparrows, so they mandated that all sparrows be exterminated. They were. In the following years, pests and blights grew exceedingly worse, since their former natural predator was taken away from the picture.
      They also blamed part of it on natural incidents such as droughts etc.
      Lastly, many people were taken away from the field to work on the iron and steel industries, among others.
      In the end, yield went down as low as 15% of the former amounts, before Mao took charge. You can see how capitalism was more efficient than his system because then each farm was responsible for it's own production, would develop their own techniques and strive to be as efficient as possible. They would eat from their own yield, and try to make as much as possible in order to sell the remainder and make money.

I know there is a lot of blind hatred of China, but I do believe that most of these people will learn to separate in their minds the concepts of China the country, The CCP Chinese ruling party, and the Chinese people.
      China was one of the greatest, longest enduring civilizations in history, up until Mao burned it to the ground. The 'wonderful economic growth' the CCP brags about shouldn't be worth much if they were the ones who annihilated it in the first place. We're all in this together, as people. It is wonderful to love your nation and be proud to work hard to further it, but we cannot ever let those with power silence the truth of the past.

      Quite simply: Humans minds aren't made for having such large-scale influence. The most minute of decisions can have catastrophic consequences and your mental state is under constant extreme pressure. And of course, the people who have gotten themselves to such a position of power are rarely completely pure of heart from the start.

So Mao is not a good leader from that point of view), he was also pretty serious in his writing and if you study his activity as a politicians in Florence you will see that he actually tries to follow some of the rules he wrote.

    -He quickly industrialized the country -> He tried to, but he didn't have an inkling on how to produce steel. Even then he still forced people to give up their personal ironware and tossed them into furnaces hoping they'd turn to steel, they didn't.
    -China was then hit by devastating floods -> The Government says that and calls the event "the 3 year great starvation", but historians argue that while there are floods, the cause of this starvation is "30% natural, 70% man-made". Various additional reasons such as people being forced to change from farming to 'steel work', communal farms creating a disincentive since everyone shares the benefits no matter how much/little work they put in, over-inflated grain numbers due to competition between communities and policy failures also contributed to the ensuing hellscape.
    But yeah, the Chinese government are a bit bad at admitting faults at times, especially those aimed at Chairman Mao.

      Seriously, even now in Western China you can see the damage done first hand, in the city I've lived in it's only been about four years that they planted enough trees to cover for the ones taken during Mao's time to stop the massive dust storms we had when I first moved here six years ago.
