Chairman Mao is the gold standard for mass murder to be sure, to be fair he had more to work with than Stalin. Stalin tried very hard though to keep up.
Not so much Mao as the Gang of Four. But that's what happens when you have an aging leader who can be manipulated.
BBC journalist Andrew Marr confronted the Chinese ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, during a television interview Sunday over viral drone footage that appears to show the Communist government detaining hundreds of blindfolded and shaven prisoners kneeling in front of a train station in Xinjiang, China. The footage, originally released late last year, has circulated widely online in light of increased information about Chinaâs treatment of the Uyghur minority population, over a million of whom have reportedly been subjected to forced âre-educationâ or detention camps, and in some instances forced sterilization, according to The Associated Press.
The Chinese ambassador, once again, deflects â this time, by bashing western intelligence and claiming they have lobbied false accusations against China.
Counting party members as well as their families, the ban could technically bar travel to the United States for as many as 270 million people, according to one internal administration estimate.

Today, there is a lot of talk about a âNew Cold Warâ between China and the United States: a Cold War between authoritarianism and liberal democracy. But we all know that China did not become authoritarian just two years ago. The whole establishment of the United States has been very happy about Chinese authoritarianism for a long time.
Just two weeks after the June 4, 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square, on June 20, President George H. W. Bush wrote a secret letter to Deng Xiaoping. The letter said that the United States was not so mad about the Communist Party sending the army to shoot its people. Bush told Deng that the United States was only a two-hundred-years-young country, and China was a five-thousand-years-old country with great contributions to world civilization, so the Chinese leaders were wise and knew what was best for the Chinese people. Bush assured Deng that Tiananmen was not going to stand in the way of the great commercial relationship between the United States and China. If there were an ideology-based Cold War between the United States and China, it should have started thirty years ago. (...)

Chairman Mao is the gold standard for mass murder to be sure, to be fair he had more to work with than Stalin. Stalin tried very hard though to keep up.
just a little family planning for the greater good...
the fact that this is going on today should scare the f**k out of people
the current chinese government is guilty of genocide
The US government has been guilty of the same in the past. The European expansion on the North American continent was accompanied by (arguably) the greatest genocide in recorded history.
does this include mao, stalin, etc.?

China's foreign ministry said on Saturday the United States needed to stop the "unreasonable suppression" of Chinese companies like Huawei, and a Chinese newspaper said the government was ready to retaliate against Washington.
The Trump administration on Friday moved to block global chip supplies to blacklisted telecoms equipment company Huawei Technologies, spurring fears of Chinese retaliation and hammering shares of US producers of chipmaking equipment.
