The Great Chinese Famine Of The 1950s

Описание: 🌾 In 1959, while millions of Chinese peasants were boiling leather straps for soup, ships loaded with rice and soybeans were leaving Chinese ports — headed for the Soviet Union. What you are about to learn in this video has been buried in classified archives, suppressed by governments, and ignored by mainstream history for decades.
This is the story of the Great Chinese Famine of 1959–1961 — the largest peacetime demographic catastrophe in recorded human history. Between 15 and 45 million people died. Not from drought. Not from floods. Not from any force of nature. They died because a political system extracted their food, falsified the numbers, silenced anyone who told the truth, and shipped the grain abroad to pay a political debt to the Soviet Union.
