What were the two greatest FAILURES of the People's Republic of China (1949-Present)?

Question

I think one would be the Great Leap Forward, anybody agree/disagree?

Answer 1

Yes the Great Leap Forward and the consequences of it.

Also the killing of 25.000 red guards must have sacred the c*** out of the general public.

Ended the cultural revolution.

And not a word of it . . .. to the outside world.



Also They had no TRUST for foriegners, and this was encouraged and re-enforced and it caused issolation from the rest of the world.

Was this  a failure or not???

Maybe it is still being played out.

Maybe we can still have peace.

Maybe China will introduce human rights and  stop the discrimination inside and outside of China.

After all it is a great Nation, with great history and has not done anything worse than other powerful nations have done if we investigate all the worlds history.. I just hope they can save face BY introducing eg free tibet . . now.
