NB: The author is a senior research fellow with a Chinese name at an Australian university. She has received grants from a variety of CCP organizations. It seems reasonable to assume that she is working from official Communist Chinese statistics, which it seems reasonable to assume are between somewhat and a great deal improved over reality. The great famine was the massive starvation caused by Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward (1959-1961) which resulted in the intentional deaths of between 15 million and 55 million Chinese. [TheConversation] The world’s biggest nation is about to shrink.China accounts for more than one sixth of the world’s population. Yet after four extraordinary decades in which China’s population has swelled from 660 million to 1.4 billion, its population is on track to turn down this year, for the first time since the great famine of 1959-1961. |
