More Discussion on Tibet Dear Wonton, To show you the danger of nationalism, do you remember that it was nationalism that pushed Mao Zedong to power? Would the Great Leap forward that ultimately caused the lives of 16.5 millions Chinese have occurred under the KMT? No. I don't think so. Would the Cultural Revolution have occurred under Sun Yat Sun? No, it would not. Mao started both the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution to consolidate his power. To win support from the majority of then China's poor uneducated peasants like himself. Chinese at that time don't trust people who are "different" ie. educated Chinese and you can see which way China went down. Nationalism is something that can make people think with emotions rather than logic. Until today, I still cannot understand why the Chinese in China trusted his guy who was not properly educated to lead them. Worst still, how come no one in China knows that he was a womaniser and pedophilia? He was married 4 times and the youngest wife was only 14 when she married Mao. Another disgusting fact was he sent away his children because a fortune teller told him his children would cause his downfall! Shortly after, his wife was sent to a mental asylum... See the doing of "nationalism"? |
