my gut feeling is that most of the 60 million probably did something really bad to deserve death. Their prisons over there are probably pretty small as they don't waste anytime executeing the death sentence, If you are found guility of a crime that deserves death, your death will probably pretty much come the same day you were declared guility. No messing around, No TV, you go straight to the grave.
I am old enough to remember each "great leap" (and the evil uncle of the 30's and 40s Democrats). I remember when the "agrarian reformers" seized control of China and our W.W.II ally the Nationalist Government, under the leadership of Chiang Kai-Shek, fled from mainland China in 1949 to Formosa (Taiwan).
Of course there are lots of videos of today's Red China commie people's justice on the net.
Hands tied, arms pulled back behind, commie foot in the victim's back.. held down on their knees by one commie official while another shoots him/her in the back of the head. And I guess like Mao's day the family must pay for the bullets.. or else.
I don't recall seeing the faces on the video.. I guess the peoples' government had removed eyes for sale abroad. Wonderful folks those supplier of cheap labor to "American" corporations. I hope to live long enough to see the people's commie government take all the bastards' assets just like the Soviets did when they lured the useful idiots into to Lenin's paradise 100 years ago.
Then I can watch the "American" corporations go crying to Washington asking for their "TARP." That kind of "government interference" is good for business.
