JESSE KELLY BREAKS HISTORY: MAO ZEDONG

But none was as murderous as China’s Mao Zedong, who exterminated approximately 65 million Chinese, as part of his vision to turn the country socialist. Dissenters — primarily intellectuals & scholars — were punished with prison, labor camps, starvation, or execution.
