| xge: I have to say that might be trade-offs. At that time, this country wanted to catch up with the advanced countries as soon as possible. So heavy industries were more emphasized than agriculture. Inevitably when there were nature disasters, food was in short supply. When there was no chance to save all the lives, it was a matter of serious choice. I don't mean to conclude who is responsible for this tragedy. I hope everyone can judge things from this country's current and previous situations instead of stamp ideas/believes. I saw too many junky criticisms from those who don't know the country well. |
