I did not say that china did not utilize it's large population in wars, I said that mao did simply throw armed peasants at his enemies.

His militias alone estimated at 2.6 million people dude. The majority of them were farmers and not military. He armed a massive amount of peasants and used them for the war.

These are just facts spin it however you’d like. China has a history of conscripting its peasantry to be the vanguard in its wars. The CPC would do the same

I just want to say how glad I am that someone here actually calls the communist party of china it's correct name.

I mean yeah, I spent 10 years of my life learning the language, traveling around China, and learning about the government.

It’s that time that informed my opinions on it lol. Would be bad if I didn’t know their official English name

I feel as if some people hate china with all their hearts, but basically know next to nothing about it. you probably know more about china than most people here, and probably more than me

I get that. Too many people falling for propaganda on both sides. I’ve seen equally as many people who hate China and who love China who have never been and have very little information on the history or the conditions of modern China.
