In your opinion, where does the 30 million deaths during the Great Leap Forward rank with other mass casualty events in the 20th century (ie. Hitler and Stalin attrocities)?
Yes, they do rank. This is exactly the same situation as the Hitler and Stalin events, as they were all committed in order to achieve a political goal. By taking the lives of all these people, the Chinese government was able to make a point and achieve their goal of obtaining seats in the UN. With this, they were able to be recognized as a major political power in the world.
