300 Thousand deaths by Japanese - Bad! Unforgettable!
40 Million deaths by Mao - Huh?
Communism - progressives love it.
I would say from the standpoint of the Japanese and the Communist victims, how they died hardly matters.
They died at the hand of evil regimes. That said, the Chinese are coming to terms with their wartime history. One day they will come to terms with the dark pages of Communist terror, cruelty and oppression.
People are not always ready to face up to their sins. That is human nature. But its inevitable. Facing it up to it begins with little things.
I understand President Xi is not the kind of man to question what the Communist regime he leads has done to the Chinese people. But he’s now opened a door that can’t be closed any more.
The truth will be heard one day. No Bamboo Curtain can keep it out. Censorship, lies and a secret police can only hold it at bay for so long. The inevitable arc of history is things will change in even in China; and those who try to avoid life will be punished by it.
Dynasties are not immortal and they’ve come and gone throughout Chinese history.
