Did I imply that ?

USSR killed thousands of its military officials before 1942 . That was big
crime , which lessened the defense ability to some extent . But still a
lot of able men helped save the country from Nazi's occupation finally .
I think this is another topic , when you refer the intellectuals killed
by KMT .

I was not discussing or implying China at the time I came to this topic .
Many reasons contributed to the staganess of Mainland China :
   very low educational level , ignorances , political sruggles , isolations 
from the advanced countries ...

I didn't deny this , what I said is many other important reasons were combined with it
to make Taiwan develop much faster than it sholud be , if not for the political
situation in the past 40 years  .

Agree . One of the most important reason .
