Funny thing is. Mao killed perhaps 30 million Chinese people, probably way more than this. He's on their banknotes.

The Japanese probably killed far less than 30 million Chinese (still bad, but that's not the point) and they're seen as the big evil (especially for Nationalist purposes, they're the common enemy for the Chinese people, like Islam has become for the US)

Mao killed more like 80 million. But your point is well taken. I watch CCTV now and then. You can wait till hell freezes over before they'll ever acknowledge that even one person was ever murdered by the communist government.

The younger generations are starting to get the idea.
