Today is the 50th anniversary of China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Just how great was it? Well it was such a disaster that even the state-run Global Times called it, “painful,” “chaotic,” and “a devastating decade of political turmoil.”
Even the Communist Party itself admits that the Great Helmsman Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution was “a serious mistake,” and that Mao was “70 percent right and 30 percent wrong.” Part of that 30 percent wrong is presumably killing two million people during that time.
