Mao Zedong’s greatest crime was the “Great Leap Forward,” the largest artificial famine in history, which caused at least 30 million people to starve to death. I’m sure the statue won’t go over well with Iowans, inasmuch as Iowa is famous as a farming state.
Now about the infamous statue of Lenin in Seattle . . .
There’s a statue of Lenin in Seattle???
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Mao Zedong’s entire reign was a crime against humanity and specifically against Chinese culture which he hated. Its purpose was the destruction of traditional Chinese culture, like the radicals are doing here now, and the institution of a new culture designed around the CCP ; this is what Xi Jinping, the New Emperor of China, is attempting to re-institute during this dynasty.
The Famine was caused by production quotas Mao set - everyone reported good harvests out of fear, so he exported the harvests and left nothing for the people to eat. This is the largest example of the CCP creating problems which have deadly consequences and something the CCP continues to do to this day.
