MORE and MORE young Chinese people have becoming Mao's admirers

I completely DISAGREE with this statement.

I thought every Chinese person was already an unquestioning admirer of Mao. How can "more and more" become admirers if everyone is already an admirer?

What percentage of young people do you estimate to be a Mao detractor?

Wow, you sound like a party official straight out of the 60's.

It is quite illogical and outright kindergardenish to condemn a book as nothing but lies when you have not even laid eyes on that book.

Being objective and rational means you look at all evidence and form a reasonable conclusion based upon said evidence.

Being impulsive, biased, and irrational means evidence is not relevant.

I've been going to China since the 80's, and I've spent 2-years there. My business acquaintances have included many people who were involved in the cultural revolution in Beijing and elsewhere, and those who lived during the famine and the Great Leap Forward. I had a brother in law who was a Red Guard. His dad was the first ambassador to Japan from China, who has been a guest in my house.

I have good sources for my conclusions. I'll leave it at that.
Your "facts" are supported by no evidence, only your own opinion.
