That number is being revised upward with more information coming out of China. These are not victims of war but murder, or what some researchers call democide and genocide. Liberals in America and Europe, including those in the media, went ballistic in their condemnation of him. I doubt whether liberals support the murderous actions of these regimes, but they do support their philosophy of human control and obedience.

Between 1934 and 1987, an estimated 12,000 South African blacks lost their lives at the hands of the South African government. Black and white liberals have roundly condemned South Africa. But there's silence and even praise for murdering governments to the north. Since 1960, over 2.2 million black Africans have been murdered by their own governments. But for America's black and white liberals, it's only the 12,000 blacks murdered by South African whites that count.
