The Communist Party of China has killed more people than any other regime in human history. With a death toll exceeding 60 million, this is a government with little regard for human life. Imagine a country where the government has sanctioned the harvesting of kidneys, livers, hearts and hair of tens of thousands people. Targeted groups of people include the Falun Gong, Christians, dissidents and the Uyghurs. This book traces the history of China from the fall of the Qing dynasty in the early 20th century to the rise of Chairman Mao. What followed was a brutal expropriation of all private property, intense poverty and the bloody repressions of innocent civilians throughout the 1950s to the 1970s. The adoption of free markets in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping led to a massive explosion of wealth in China making it the second largest economy in the world. While this increase in wealth has been a blessing for the noble Chinese population, it has not eliminated all their problems. This book delves into the many problems still facing china and relies on reports from highly trusted sources.
