As its presence grew, the evidences of China’s dubious human history were there to be seen by anyone who looked. Visions of the country’s forced one-child family policy, detention centers for those citizens seeking redress from corrupt officials, the Stalin-esque elimination of millions of elderly no longer able to work --aerial photographic evidence of the horror still marked as ’ classified’ in U.S. State Department/DoD archives -- (note: eyewitness accounts include those of contract air cargo personnel for the US military who reported “rivers choked bank to bank with bodies of the old and infirm, hands tied behind their backs, as far as the eye could see at our radar avoiding’ flight level and line of sight of seven miles. We used high-resolution cameras in our PBY to document these observations, with a death toll estimate partially corroborated by the Red Cross and other capable people of at least 70 Million’ ) in the days following Mao Zhedong’s ouster of Chiang Kai-Shek to Formosa in 1949, or college students who protested were avoidable if one looked in a different direction. Also ignored was China’s blatant disregard for anyone else’s property or intellectual property rights. (It was GM’s vice chair Bob Lutz who had noticed a Jeep driving around the streets of Beijing during a much earlier visit during his tenure with Chrysler. His Chinese host proudly announced it wasn’t a Jeep, but a successful copy of the Jeep, down to every detail.)
From the press release:
6. Reveals, based on still classified data and imagery within US State Department and Department of Defense (DoD) archives, that Mao Zhedong, in a move echoing that of Josef Stalin, ordered the extermination of old and infirm Chinese he deemed unable to work in the aftermath of his defeat of the nationalist forces of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in 1949. The number of those killed in the days and weeks transpiring subsequent to order issuance, at least 70 million and as high as 120 million, exceeds by several orders of magnitude the known estimates in the 1949-1976 timeframe which included “The Great Leap Forward”. It is worth noting the higher estimate at the time represented half of the population of the United States. (note: Eyewitness accounts include those of contract Air Cargo personnel for the US military who reported ’rivers choked bank to bank with bodies of the old and infirm, hands tied with wire behind their backs, as far as the eye could see at our radar avoiding’ flight level and line of sight of seven miles. We used high-resolution cameras in our [Consolidated] PBY [Catalina Flying Boat] to document these observations, with a death toll estimate partially corroborated by the Red Cross and other capable people of at least 70 Million. We chanced upon this horrific scene while flying along the coast over the East China Sea not far from Shanghai, when we observed at least a thousand sharks headed inland. Having no idea what would be bringing the sharks in, we flew lower for a closer look and followed them up a river for approximately five or six miles to a sight we will never forget: a massive feeding frenzy on human victims.’)
