Mao

I am surprised how long the Chinese people allowed Chairman Moa to rule over them. Some of the things he did bordered on pure insanity. Having the people kill sparrows because they were hurting the grain production. I guess people like that are necesary to show the worlds leaders how not to act. People say if we dont study history that we are deemed to repeat it. I think more history lessons should be taught on Mao in the US and in China. Just one of his economic reforms cost 70 million chinese their lives; something like that cannot be repeated.
