It appears that the figures from 1960:

1960 66207 20.86 25.43 -4.57 4.02

These figures actually seem to support the notion that many people died during the Great Leap Forward. And this coming from a Chinese web site.

Or am I reading the figures incorrectly..?

Why is calling attention to events which are historic (and are not occuring now obviously) and killed Chinese people, anti - China..?

According to that data in 1959-61 there was an excess mortality of about 2% of the population = 12 million people...

So that is less than the number that Oblomov cited.
