Where the CCP called in ignorant Mountain Troops brain washed them into believing every one they saw were terrorists.

Where volunteer aid station personal - doctors and nurses soon became just more dead and wounded.

Where some number above 10,000 people were murdered.
Russian mortality trends for 1991-2001: analysis by cause and region
Results Mortality increased substantially after the economic crisis in 1998, with life expectancy falling to 58.9 years among men and 71.8 years among women by 2001. Most of these fluctuations were due to changes in mortality from vascular disease and violent deaths (mainly suicides, homicides, unintentional poisoning, and traffic incidents) among young and middle aged adults. Trends were similar in all parts of Russia. An extra 2.5-3 million Russian adults died in middle age in the period 1992-2001 than would have been expected based on 1991 mortality.
Conclusions Russian mortality was already high in 1991 and has increased further in the subsequent decade. Fluctuations in mortality seem to correlate strongly with underlying economic and societal factors. On an individual level, alcohol consumption is strongly implicated in being at least partially responsible for many of these trends.

The Chinese had recent experience with near collapse of social and economic systems leading to widespread famine and death during the Mao years, and they experienced the bloodiest civil war in history during the late 1800s.
