To us Chinese, Mao Zedong is our hero.

Mao uplifted farmers and the working class in China, united the Chinese people, led us to defeat foreign invaders, and founded an independent country so we could all live with dignity.

Mao supported the heroic struggle of the African people against imperialism and colonialism.

He was one of the greatest leaders in world history, and one of the most demonized by the West.

    Thank you western anglophone white person for your well-informed, original and free thinking correction. I was in danger of having an unapproved thought about someone the US government doesn't like.

    Gotta love it when some racist liberal (redundant phrasing, I know) comes into a thread just to announce that they think it's "awful" when African people struggle against imperialism and colonialism, and are glad that a person who lifted hundreds of millions of Asian people out of poverty is dead.
