if this is so , how come the people supported Mao instead of chiang ?
during that period china was fragmented , with many small areas ruled by warlords.
some under the jipon supervision.
tis chiang is evil to the utmost.
the brutal and terroristic Kuomintang regime caused the suffering and dead of millions.
chiang ordered the destruction of the dykes on the Yellow River to stop the Japanese advance,
which left more than half a million Chinese dead and 4.8 million as refugees.
chiang security and secret police killed and tortured thousands of Chinese suspected of treason or of being communist.
using thugs and even collaborated with jipon to achieve its aim.
instead of fighting the jipon kias ,
chiang was more involved in destroying the communist.
it is no surprise that the population supported mao at the end of the war.
having ruled with absolute power and enjoyed the privileges that come with it
mao launched the cultural revolution in order to perpetual his power.
the old cliche is certainly true, the hole tooth and nothing but the tuth.
power corrupts ; and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
absolute power also cause mental disorder in man , turning them into deranged pervert.
we all knew what happened during the cultural revolution.
for a decade the people were indoctrinated with values that were devoid of humanity , gracefulness , kindness.
the adult population today were the babies and young children of that period.
how do you expect them to behave ?
