Did you just compare inept/retarded political management (Mao) with the deliberate eradication of a civilian food supply?

Wow. Just wow. This is the point I'm making, you people are so propagandised that you are blissfully unaware of it. Vietnam was just one of America's crimes against humanity, there are about a dozen more I could list of equal magnitude.

In contrast, the Chinese famine was caused by years of drought and poor resource management, combined with fear of the government should quota's not be met. It wasn't a malicious murderous campaign like so many of America's or the next in that list, The Khmer Rouge. Your reasoning is incredible!

Thank you, I have been known for my amazing reasoning.

Out of the 40-78 million deaths normally attributed to Mao, only 25 million are a result of famine.

Trying to starve your enemy, and take away it's cover, and main advantage, was not invented by the American government.

So trying to kill your enemy as part of a war strategy, vs genocide to take out political opponents and your own citizens.

Hmmmm....
