He who, with his Great Leap Forward, reduced one of the world’s oldest and proudest civilizations literally to cannibalism.
Stalin killed 20 million people and is a piker compared to Hitler’s organized murder of 10 million people.
Someday Mao will be seen for what he was. The old China will return and shake off the trappings of Marx. But, watch out— when China wakes the world will shake. I still believe a war will be fought between China and the USA and I do not think its a war we can win—lets hope I am wrong.
One little problem, both Jenghis & Kublai Kahn were Mongols.
My vote goes for Huang Di.
It must be Chair Mao.He was the first product of combination of the modern communist propoganda technology and traditional Confusion-style propoganda theory, wasn’t he? Even after his death, his main political enemies, who arrested his nephew and his wife after he died, feared to despise him. Oh, he was so loved and by chinese. Especially to those who couldn’t read and write in rural place, Chair Mao is more of a god than a great man.
People were worshipping Chairman Mao.
The most important man in shaping Chinese history is Shang Yang.
Were? As far as I can tell, they still worship him.
Qublai Quan is another way of spelling Kublai Khan, is closer [phonetically] to the Mongol pronunciation [thety have no ‘K’]
I couldn’t agree more.
Now I’ve got it.
