    The numbers are pulled out of the ass of rabid anti CCP types. If you look at how they arrived at 80m is by counting falling birth rates as deaths then projecting that forward so saying 80m would exist today without mobilization or these policies. The death rate during the GLF was barely even above India's. 24 v 25 per 1000

    On the note of steel production during the GLF, I remember reading a story about how Mao visited his home village during the campaign and was saddened that a large wooden Buddha statue in the village center he loved growing up was torn down and burned to help meet his steel quota. Just an interesting note on the more human side of an otherwise brutal authoritarian.

    Good video Jabzy, but one misleading point in it I noticed. At 6:28, the quote of Mao saying 'when there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill'. This was said 5 years before Yellow River Flood it's presented alongside, and is a metaphor for industrial production rather than anything food-related. It's meant to mean that their industrial plan should focus resources on a smaller number of projects, rather than spreading their resources too thinly.

    It's all just propaganda, for example he blames the locusts on the pest campaign against the sparrows without mentioning that the sparrows themselves were an invasive species that was also a plague on the fields while they still used traditional seed casting methods. And while the pest campaign contributed to the locusts, plagues of locusts have arisen throughout history without any pests campaigns. He also makes no mention of China's long history with famine, and just darts over the year long drought and the flooding of the yellow river which drowned over a million people, washed away stockpiles of food, and drowned the fields. Both of these events were devastating. He also mentions Lysenkoism (close cropping) without mentioning that the KMT had been experimenting with a variety of agricultural methods in different regions as part of an effort to modernize China's agriculture. All the blame is placed on Mao for continuing experiments that were already under way when the revolution happened. Some of those experiments proved disastrous and others beneficial He also says Mao didn't want to know about the famine but when he realized he was being fed faulty reports he started traveling to the affected areas and sending people to study everything they could possibly learn to solve the famine and prevent the next one. And the video says 80 million died but that's a completely made up number from the black book of communism, the actual number of deaths from the famine were around 15 million, and can fluctuate up and down a few depending on what criteria is deemed appropriate. Similar famines had occurred throughout China's history but what made the great famine different was that it affected the whole mainland all at the same time. This guy's basically just an anti-communist liberal who read the Black Book of Communism and took everything in it at face value without doing any additional research or scrutinizing it, so you may as well just listen to that on audiobook. Two of the authors cited on the cover denounced it btw, and said the author who put it together was obsessed with exaggerating death tolls to get the highest numbers possible.

He was a sycophant of Mao and at first praised by Mao for this work but ironically became the first victim of the cultural revolution.

    If you look at deaths on a per capita basis, the famines caused by the great leap forward are one of the smaller mass death events in history. Any huge disasters in China are like that, kills millions but barely felt by 98-99% of people. On the other hand, the deadliest man made catastrophe in history (per capita) would be the Great Potato Famine, which killed 1/5th the population of Ireland, displaced another 1/5th, and essentially destroyed the Gaelic language and much of Irish culture. It's probably one of the most devastating ethnic genocides in history, despite its "low" body count. The population of ireland still has not recovered.

    The great leap forward resulted with over 10% of the population dying, this was rapidly recovered from because the one child policy was not implemented until 1980 and prior to it China had a birthrate similar to sub-Saharan Africa and the 90%(ish) of the survivors of the Great Leap tended to have much longer lifespans and so the population resumed growth almost immediately. Still, 10% death is something you don't normally see in a nation during peace time outside of a plague and was completely unnecessary and inhumane.

    Generally speaking, estimates for total death toll in big tragedies like this become higher the more information is learned. Early estimates usually just include the number of specific individuals which documents describe as having died from the tragedy, and this is crudely extrapolated to the people who weren't well documented as well. But oftentimes, the best-documented people were the least badly hit by tragedy, so that as we learn more about the previously lesser studied populations, our estimate goes up. After that, there's an even bigger thing: Tragedies create ripple effects causing even more deaths, but its difficult to trace any SINGLE person's death to that. For example, my Great Uncle had COPD and died in a hospital, because it was during the height of the recent pandemic so all respirators were taken by COVID patients. If you just count people killed by COVID, my uncle wouldn't be listed. But it is nearly certain that the COVID pandemic indirectly caused or at least contributed to his death. In the past two decades or so, scholars have started to estimate these sorts of indirect deaths and include them in their approximate totals. Looking specifically at The Campaign to Suppress Counter-Revolutionaries, the earliest estimates coming out shortly after Mao's death placed the death toll at about 0.7 million. But as additional previously covered-up deaths were identified, new documents became available to researchers, and deaths from abysmal treatment in slave labor camps were included, that estimate today sits at somewhere between 2 and 5 million--at least 3 times and potentially as much as 7 times higher than what was initially thought. The % increase in death tolls for the Great Famine and Cultural Revolution aren't quite as drastic as those of The Campaign to Suppress Counter-Revolutionaries, but they have increased for for very similar reasons. This isn't unique to discussion of Chinese History. Estimated death tolls for events as variable in nature as The Holocaust, The Black Death, Hurricane Katrina, the US Invasion of Iraq, and British Colonization of India, have all increased over the past years and decades. There isn't a global and/or ""western"" conspiracy to inflate the number of people killed through Mao's totalitarianism and dysfunctional governance. Nor is there a conspiracy to inflate the numbers killed by any other mass-death events. It's just that scholars have more information than they did earlier, and include indirect deaths which had previously been swept under the rug.

    ​ @p00bix 'scholars' use "people that were never born" to inflate the death toll, so yes, it is a deliberate way to inflate the numbers. It's, quite frankly, the most glaring thing people always omit when talking about the Great Leap Forward. If we use the same methodology for European Colonisation of the Americas, the death toll for Native Americans would be in the billions, much like how the Indian death toll under British rule was over 1.8 billion. It's absolutely absurd. Just count the deaths as is, which I suspect is in the low millions because if it was any higher, China's population could not have possibly reached 1 billion by the 1970s. If we look at the previous wars in Chinese history that killed over 20 million people, the population always stagnated for over a century. And here, we are expected to believe 80 million people died when China's population was around 550 million. So, essentially, by 1965, China population should have dipped below 470 million. But, instead, it swelled to nearly a billion.

    Actually, the death of ordinary Chinese people is not a big issue. The key point is that almost all foreign-educated technical experts who returned to China and university professors who did not follow the Kuomintang to Taiwan died during the Cultural Revolution. Some committed suicide, while others were tortured to death. In many famous Chinese universities, there are memorial halls displaying the photos of those who founded the schools or made outstanding contributions to them. Although their birth dates are different, their death dates are exactly the same. Therefore, after China's reform and opening up, they could only seek technology imports from the West and Japan, as there were virtually no people with basic academic backgrounds in the entire country at that time, having been wiped out during the Cultural Revolution. As a result, the Chinese began to continuously acquire technology through various means, as there was no foundation for research and development. In fact, most Chinese people cannot reflect on the Cultural Revolution and even believe that it was necessary for making China strong. What you see and hear now are mainly the descendants of the perpetrators from that time. Those who had even the slightest dissenting opinions or knowledge and culture from the old era were all killed by these people. Opposing the Cultural Revolution is essentially equivalent to criticizing all Chinese people. Only the descendants of those who do not understand history may have some resentment towards the Cultural Revolution.

In fact Mao had lowered death rates from mid 40:1000 to 10:1000 so he in reality saved millions of lives. The death rate for GLF is 25:1000 India's was 24:1000

    40% time in ideological education doesnt lead to good soldiering. What is more I have a feeling that today, tho the army swears loyalty to the party the soldiers actually feel loyal to China their country not the government.

    Yep I mean look at the death rates, only 1 person per 1000 died during the GLF more than India's annual death rate at the time. India 24:1000 to GLF 25:1000 yet people don't pretend tens of millions were dying every year in India.

    The population of China in the 20th century was about 400 million because of the Japanese invasion which resulted in about 35 million deaths and disappearances. However, do you think Mao Zedong's dead population in China was about 80 million when he founded the People's Republic of China, and it seems that China's dead population in the 20th century after the founding of the People's Republic of China should have been more than 100 million, and that's the population of a small country, so do you think it's possible for him to have done that?

    the fact that Mao is revered as some sort of twisted messiah in China to this day is very disturbing, although Stalin is still a god in the eyes of some and his reign of terror was almost as bad. Can't imagine the angry moustache man still being treated as a hero by the modern German government.....
