It's important to point out that Mao intentionally murdered every educated professional person who couldn't manage to escape China. Mao didn't even let chefs live. My grandfather had to get chefs from Taiwan for his US-based restaurant because there was nobody left in the part of China he grew up in who could cook restaurant quality Chinese food in those days. If Mao didn't even spare chefs, you can guarantee there were no metallurgists left to make the great leap headfirst into a furnace work. Mao murdered his way into his problems and then tried to murder his way out of them. Tens of millions of people were tortured, starved, and executed in one man's quest for power. It's horrible that many people in China no longer know of the atrocities Mao committed on their families and want the return of a Mao-like leader, because that will only lead to more misery and death for Chinese people.
