It quoted a Beijing-based \u201cthink tank\u201d scholar who credited the CCP with \u201celiminating abject poverty, improving the health and life expectancy of 1.4 billion Chinese people, rolling out one of the best infrastructure networks in the world, and leapfrogging into the world\u2019s second largest economy without resorting to colonization.\u201d In all, NBC devoted five paragraphs to praising the CCP\u2019s rule of the world\u2019s largest totalitarian state.<\/p>\n<p>The NBC story briefly mentioned \u201cmillions of people who starved to death during the Great Leap Forward\u201d and Mao Tse-tung\u2019s \u201cCultural Revolution\u201d unleashed \u201cchaos and persecutions.\u201d But even that undercounts the number of people killed by the Chinese Communist Party 10- to 40-fold.<\/p>\n<p>Mao\u2019s effort to collectivize China\u2019s farms and factories, which he called \u201cThe Great Leap Forward\u201d (1958 to 1962), killed at least&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/article\/723956\/revisiting-calamitous-time\">45 million<\/a>&nbsp;people.
