So does the history of Western Europe and the United States until WWII.

The subject was China not the West. Instead of addressing the subject you do what the left often does. Instead addressing the subject, they change the subject and that change is often ant western democracies.

Does the West have a bloody history. Of course, they do but we have changed. China hasn't and to prove this please gave me a list of all the death camps that now exist in the Western Democracies.

I did address the subject of this thread, which is not just China, but China and the West. You argued that "the history of China swims in blood, poverty, and famine." I pointed out that ours did, too, until WWII changed that.

We're both right. China and the West had the same bloody history, but the world wars changed our trajectory for the better and, I hope, forever.

Thanks to Mao, China's trajectory became worse, with death and "re-education" camps for any minority that annoys its party leadership. China's brutality continues to this day.

For the record, Western democracy is the best invention for the care of human needs and spirit since fire and the wheel.
