I can't wait to see what jp4's position will be by page 3!
I think that StooopidRalph again proves he needs to better learn the King's Language. IDIOT.
Let me again quote one of my sources and YOU decide if this is an "accident"
The major contributing factors in the famine were the policies of the Great Leap Forward (1958 to 1962) and people's communes, launched by Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party Mao Zedong, such as inefficient distribution of food within the nation's planned economy; requiring the use of poor agricultural techniques; the Four Pests campaign that reduced sparrow populations (which disrupted the ecosystem); over-reporting of grain production; and ordering millions of farmers to switch to iron and steel production.[4][6][8][15][17][18] During the Seven Thousand Cadres Conference in early 1962, Liu Shaoqi, then President of China, formally attributed 30% of the famine to natural disasters and 70% to man-made errors ("三分天灾, 七分人祸").[8][19][20] After the launch of Reforms and Opening Up, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially stated in June 1981 that the famine was mainly due to the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward as well as the Anti-Rightist Campaign, in addition to some natural disasters and the Sino-Soviet split.[2][3]
Definition of accident:
2.
an event that happens by chance or that is
without apparent or deliberate cause."the pregnancy was an accident"
[Definitions from Oxford Languages]
We know the CAUSE of the Famine; it was INTENTIONAL, apparent, & DELIBERATE and THUS NOT an accident. LEARN SOMETHING, smallStoopidralph and stop being so STUPID. China/CCP-Lover, Ralph = MORON = STOOOPID.
And Duk's source says the SAME BASIC things. Try reading again.
And let's review the meaning of murder:
the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
PERHAPS, Mao did not intend to kill Chinese peasants by
1) Killing birds (sparrows);
2) forcing them to make steel and NOT raise crops (THIS IS RATHER STOOOOPID, don't you think..??);
3) did not allow food to be imported;
4) other MAJOR MISTAKES of policies in the "Mao's Four Pests" campaign:
BUT the fact that Mao did not change his policies and ways once some deaths occurred, that he was so OBSTINATE NOT to change his policies, makes the deaths in subsequent years cases of MURDER. He was told his policies did not work, AND killed peasants, but Mao did not change his ways.
and more, SAME source given earlier (by me):
In 1959, the harvest had dropped by 30 million tons, almost 15 percent of the total, from the previous year. Yet, in the face of growing food shortages, Mao insisted that the problem was not declining grain production but willful sabotage.
Mao knows there are problems, but does not change and does not accept RESPONSIBILITY. This reminds me of STOOPID-ralph. YES, the "Four Pest" policies causes a "few" deaths, but most of them are due to "Sabotage." YEAH, RIGHT, ralph, keep on trying to sell THAT LIE. I
Rather than try to euphemize these MAJOR mistakes (as ralph wants to do) by calling this the "Four Pest" policy, I prefer to call this event what it is:
The Great Chinese Famine. Why wait until page 3? China-loving ralph is an IDIOT.
QED.
