This is very interesting attitude of yours, I was going to say
this is very strange logic, then what you said above cannot be
qualified as logical.  :-|

We all know that CCP is catching up fast with those shameless western
arms dealers, in selling arms into troubled spots in the world.
the CCP is also the major supplier of weapons to the Serbs, which in
this case are the reported criminals who are committing some most hideous
and repulsive crimes against humanity in recent history.

We shall not forget that the CCP is still an ardent supporter of the
infamous Pol-Pot.

Was it really a concindance that the CCP enjoys the company of those
most notorious among the homo sapiens?

Maybe you would like to tell the netters, what is your view about the
following events?

China
The greatest massacre ever imputed by the government of one
sovereign nation against the government of another is that of 26.3
million Chinese during the regime of Mao Zedong between 1949 and
May 1965. This accusation was made by an agency of the USSR
government in a radio broadcast on 7 April 1969. The broadcast
broke down the figure into four periods: 2.8 million (1949-52); 3.5
million (1953-7); 6.7 million (1958-60); and 13.3 million (1961-May
1965).

The Walker Report published by the US Senate Committee of the
Judiciary in July 1971 placed the parameters of the total death toll
within China since 1949 between 32.25 and 61.7 million. An estimate
of 63.7 million was published by the Figaro magazine of 19-25
November 1978.

Cambodia
As a percentage of a nation's total population the worst genocide
appears to have been that in Cambodia (formerly Kampuchea).
According to the Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister, Teng Sary, more
than a third of the 8 million Khmers were killed between 17 April 1975
and January 1979. The highest 'class' ideals induced indifference to
individual suffering to the point of serving as a warrant for massacre.
Under the rule of Saloth Sar, alias Pol Pot, a founding member of the
CPK (Communist Party of Kampuchea, formed in September 1960),
towns, money and property were abolished and economical
execution by bayonet and club introduced for such offenses as falling
asleep during the day, asking too many questions, playing
noncommunist music, being old and feeble, being the offspring of an
'undesirable' or being too well educated. Deaths at the Tuol Sleng
interrogation center reached 582 in a day.

USSR
The total death toll in the Great Purge, or Yezhovshchina, in the USSR
from 1936-38 has never been published. Evidence of its magnitude
may be found in population statistics, which show a decline in
population from before the outbreak of the 1941-45 war.
Professor Igor Bestuzhev-Lada published an estimate of Stalin's
victims in 1929-53 in the Nedelya supplement to Izvestia of 16 April
1988 of 50 million dead. Nobel Prizewinner Alexander Solzhenitsyn
estimated the loss of life from state repression and terrorism from
October 1917 to December 1959 under Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev
at 66 700 000 (66.7 million).

Nazi Germany
The most reliable estimate of the number of Jewish victims of the
Holocaust or the genocidal 'Final Solution' (Endlosung) ordered by
Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) in April 1941 and continuing into May 1945 is
5.8 million.
At the SS (Schutzstaffel) extermination camp (Vernichtungslager)
known as Auschwitz-Birkenau (Oswiecim-Brzezinka), near Oswiecim
(Auschwitz) in southern Poland, where a minimum of 920,000 people
(Soviet estimate is 4 000 000 (4 million)) were exterminated from 14
June 1940 to 18 January 1945, the greatest number killed in a day
was 6,000.

In Chinese history of the 13th-17th centuries there were three periods
of wholesale massacre. The numbers of victims attributed to these
events are assertions rather than reliable estimates. The figure put on
the Mongolian invasions of northern China from 1210-19 and from
1311-40 are both of the order of 35 million, while the number of
victims of the bandit leader Chang Hsien-chung (c. 1605-47), known
as the 'Yellow Tiger,' from 1643-47 in the Siechuan province has
been put at 40 million.
