Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - EPISODE 352： THE CHINA FILES - CHAOS UNDER HEAVEN

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the first part, The China Files Part 2, Chaos Under Heaven. 0.79

00:00:23.960 In part one, we talked all about the decline and fall of the Qing Dynasty, the last empire

00:00:30.420 of China.

00:00:31.280 We talked about World War II, and we talked about the Chinese Civil War, as well as the

00:00:37.480 rise of Chairman Mao himself, Mao Zedong, going from the son of a peasant farmer to

00:00:44.200 go on and become the most brutal revolutionary leader the world had ever seen.

00:00:48.780 But after 1949, Chairman Mao was now the dictator of the entire country, the undisputed leader

00:00:58.620 of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:01:01.240 The man who, with a single word, could order executions, could order young girls taken

00:01:09.240 to him, which he did many, many times, some as young as 13 and 14, to be brought up to

00:01:15.160 his inner chambers, massive bed that he used to use.

00:01:21.660 He had absolute power over the country.

00:01:24.220 But the first thing that he began to do with that power was something called the agricultural

00:01:29.380 reforms.

00:01:31.240 And what was this?

00:01:33.400 Well, the agricultural reforms, and possibly in a response to his father, in a response

00:01:41.700 to the way that he talked about his father brutally treating him, brutally beating him

00:01:45.760 and his brothers, the Chinese Communist Party went into every single peasant village, and

00:01:54.360 they found anyone who owned land.

00:01:56.480 If you owned land, that land was taken for you.

00:02:02.340 Peasant revenge was the coin of the realm.

00:02:05.540 Landlords, landowners, were shunned, publicly mocked, in some cases, brutally executed by the

00:02:18.880 Chinese Communist Party.

00:02:19.860 Millions of people died in this exercise, in this activity.

00:02:24.420 These were called legitimate grievances against the landowners.

00:02:30.100 It was a new class war.

00:02:31.660 Mao himself actually described it as this, in 1950.

00:02:37.000 Land reform in a population of over 300 million people is a vicious war.

00:02:43.020 It is more arduous, more complex, more troublesome than crossing the Yangtze River, because our

00:02:49.240 troops are 260 million peasant soldiers.

00:02:53.120 This is a war for land reform.

00:02:55.520 This is the most hideous class war between peasants and landlords.

00:03:00.420 It is a battle to the death.

00:03:06.980 It's hard to tell how many landlords were actually systemically murdered by the Chinese Communist

00:03:12.960 Party during this time.

00:03:14.720 But it wasn't just landlords that were targeted.

00:03:17.460 Mao soon realized that factory owners, factory managers, and academics all caused problems for him.

00:03:31.180 And so Mao continued to go after all of them.

00:03:34.620 But for the academics, Mao had a new idea.

00:03:37.660 Because Mao came up with something called the Baihua Ying Dong, the Hundred Flowers Campaign.

00:03:47.040 And at one point in 1956, Chairman Mao encouraged intellectuals, academics, writers.

00:03:55.560 He said, speak out.

00:03:56.440 Let a hundred flowers bloom.

00:03:59.920 Tell us the truth of what you believe our country has been up to since the founding of the People's

00:04:08.380 Republic.

00:04:09.240 Just go ahead and let us know.

00:04:11.520 And don't worry.

00:04:12.520 Nothing will happen to you.

00:04:13.740 Well, it shouldn't begin to be very hard to tell you what happened to all those people.

00:04:25.260 Because every single person who spoke out against Chairman Mao was locked up, discredited.

00:04:31.920 They lost their jobs.

00:04:33.960 They were forced into gulags and labor camps.

00:04:36.960 They were sent away for re-education.

00:04:41.640 Many of which were pushed to suicide or persecuted to the point where they decided to take their own

00:04:48.780 lives rather than live through continued persecution at the hands of the authorities and at the hands

00:04:54.180 of the party.

00:04:56.280 Hundreds of thousands of leaders, leading intellectuals, professors,

00:05:01.920 were targeted in what was called, and you're going to love this, it was called the anti-right-wing

00:05:08.000 movement.

00:05:08.960 Because any criticism of the party was seen as right-wing extremism.

00:05:15.280 And you're going to hear that phrase over and over as we talk more about this.

00:05:20.340 Because right-wing extremism, according to Chairman Mao, was the enemy of the revolution.

00:05:26.960 And anyone who opposed him was a right-wing extremist.

00:05:31.920 In fact, the historian Jun Chang wrote, it was a year before the intellectuals gained courage

00:05:37.500 to respond to Mao's call.

00:05:39.240 But in terms of the education system, there were bitter complaints about copying the Soviet

00:05:42.940 Union, the fact that Marxist-Leminism was held up as orthodox doctrine to be accepted

00:05:47.800 without question, wider social criticism focused on the authoritarian role, and various abuses

00:05:53.380 of privilege of the new political elites.

00:05:55.620 Because the new elites were simply the people that Mao put into power.

00:06:00.920 But Mao didn't care.

00:06:02.980 Mao was looking to make a list of enemies.

00:06:06.600 And for every person who came out, they were criticized, they were persecuted, many of whom

00:06:12.860 were later sent to the farms themselves.

00:06:17.840 They said, if you don't understand the importance of the peasantry, you must be sent down.

00:06:28.680 Xia Fang.

00:06:30.160 This happened in the 1950s and 60s.

00:06:32.180 These intellectuals were sent to work on farms themselves as indentured servants and slaves.

00:06:36.320 And there's another group that was persecuted.

00:06:39.260 The persecution of them began under this time.

00:06:41.580 It wasn't as intense as it would later become during the Cultural Revolution.

00:06:45.360 But that was the church.

00:06:47.860 Christianity in China began to be persecuted.

00:06:52.620 Churches were closed.

00:06:54.180 Missionaries were forced out.

00:06:56.380 You didn't yet have the mass killings of priests and nuns, the rapes.

00:07:03.200 That would come later.

00:07:04.200 But during this period, the Chinese Communist Party, like all Communist Parties, understood

00:07:09.500 that only one ideology could be allowed to operate.

00:07:14.880 And so any church that remained in China, any individual congregation, had to be forced.

00:07:23.360 The priests themselves had to swear allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:07:28.340 Or they too would be purged.

00:07:31.160 They too would be sent to the countryside.

00:07:33.320 And if they were a foreigner, be deported from the country or even worse. 1.00

00:07:39.020 Because in a communist revolution, they always come for the priests first.

00:07:44.840 They always come for the people of God.

00:07:49.900 Because for communism to take hold and take root, there cannot be any higher power than the party,

00:07:57.160 which is always officially atheist.

00:08:01.380 They smash God.

00:08:02.960 They take him out of the public square.

00:08:05.460 And they appoint themselves and the revolution, the new morality.

00:08:09.420 Because as we're going to learn, the revolution never ends.

00:08:12.760 As the 10-year mark of the People's Republic was rapidly approaching, Mao became impatient.

00:08:25.780 Mao was upset because utopia had not yet been reached.

00:08:31.240 Millions had been killed.

00:08:33.560 Millions more had been deported.

00:08:35.080 Millions more had been taken out of their positions of power and sent to serve as peasants.

00:08:40.020 The peasants, then, had been placed in charge of the farms, in charge of the factories, in charge of industrial output.

00:08:47.280 And yet, nothing seemed to be working.

00:08:51.440 Mao then decided that industrial manufacturing and agricultural growth needed to move, quote,

00:08:58.200 faster, better, and cheaper.

00:09:02.540 And so, Mao came up with a new policy, a new plan, that he called the Great Leap Forward.

00:09:13.920 The Great Leap Forward had two objectives.

00:09:16.220 The first was to industrialize the society, industrialize the economy in order to catch up with the West. 0.94

00:09:20.260 The second was to transform China into a collectivized society, where full socialism would be achieved.

00:09:29.640 This was done through collective communes, where those massive farms that we talked about earlier would no longer be owned by any one individual.

00:09:37.740 They'd be owned by the state.

00:09:38.920 They'd be owned by the party.

00:09:39.840 Where you wouldn't even live in your own home anymore.

00:09:43.800 You would live in dormitories.

00:09:45.000 You would live in blocks.

00:09:46.800 You wouldn't make your own food.

00:09:48.340 No, you'd be served food at cafeterias and canteens.

00:09:51.680 You'd be given the ability to have a collective meal.

00:09:54.660 You would have collective work, collective education, collective life.

00:09:58.940 You would live at the beck and call of the state.

00:10:03.940 By the Great Leap Forward, this was announced by Mao.

00:10:06.320 The party was meeting in Nanjing in the South.

00:10:08.240 Mao said, we need to follow a different path than the Soviet Union.

00:10:14.540 We need to figure out a way to organize all peasant labor, eliminate waste, inefficiency. 0.93

00:10:20.240 And of course, Mao realized that the only one to be able to direct all of this, of course, would be Chairman Mao himself.

00:10:30.100 And so they came up with a new jingle.

00:10:33.380 Communism is paradise, and the people's communes are the way to get there.

00:10:39.520 Private property was confiscated.

00:10:43.440 Land, farm buildings, tools, livestock, all of it was confiscated by the government, even private homes.

00:10:50.520 Philip Short, who was a historian, wrote, officially, everyone was supposed to have at least six hours sleep every day.

00:10:57.980 But some brigades boasted of working up to four or five days without stopping.

00:11:03.560 Now, Mao was also obsessed with steel.

00:11:08.960 And Mao said, we need to find ways to make more.

00:11:12.240 China has to make more steel and make it faster.

00:11:14.780 So Mao decided to come up with a new policy called backyard furnaces because we needed to take the old iron.

00:11:21.200 Remember the old, the plowshares.

00:11:23.080 We needed more steel plowshares.

00:11:24.640 And so what was the best way to do this?

00:11:27.800 Well, the Soviet Union had their massive smelteries.

00:11:31.340 But not in China.

00:11:32.320 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:11:33.420 In China, they decided to have backyard furnaces.

00:11:36.180 So all farmers and anyone in China who owned iron, you were then ordered by Chairman Mao to go into your backyard with your hammers, your sights, your equipment.

00:11:48.300 And to smelt all of it down in your backyard furnaces.

00:11:53.420 All farm equipment in China was melted.

00:12:00.340 Even household implements, cooking utensils, ladles, pots, woks, pans, everything smelted down.

00:12:07.840 Now, did this lead to a new birth of a bountiful harvest for China?

00:12:19.000 Did these massive communist policies lead to the greatest export and bountiful harvest that we've ever seen in the world?

00:12:28.420 No.

00:12:29.780 Unfortunately not.

00:12:30.660 Because unfortunately for us, the same way that this was tried under Trofim Lysenko, the founder of Lysenkoism, complete pseudoscience in the Soviet Union.

00:12:44.440 This led to the greatest mass humanitarian crisis in world history.

00:12:54.820 Tens of millions of people starved to death.

00:13:00.660 Some estimates say it was as high as 47 million.

00:13:03.120 Some estimates say it's as high as 60 million.

00:13:05.880 There's an incredible book called Hungry Ghosts that I urge you to read, but I don't urge you to read it on an empty stomach.

00:13:12.900 Excuse me, I do urge you to read it on an empty stomach.

00:13:16.840 Because it shows the abject horror that the people of China, the Lao Baixing, had to live through under the Great Leap Forward. 0.85

00:13:24.060 And what they call the Great Famine.

00:13:26.000 Even today, they call it the Three Years of Famine.

00:13:27.860 Though, of course, in official propaganda, they say it was due to natural disasters.

00:13:34.000 The food shortages got so bad.

00:13:37.500 It got so critical.

00:13:39.480 That peasants were eating things like sawdust, leather, seeds, animal manure.

00:13:46.860 In Sichuan province, there were reports of peasants eating soil itself.

00:13:53.180 Dogs, cats, rice, mice, insects.

00:13:59.260 Dead or alive.

00:14:02.300 Malnutrition spread throughout all of China.

00:14:05.860 And there was something else that spread throughout China that began to rear its head.

00:14:15.180 Cannibalism.

00:14:17.980 Because people would see their neighbors die.

00:14:21.900 And they would say,

00:14:23.060 If this flesh can be a way for us to live, then why shouldn't we?

00:14:33.420 Sometimes, and there are reports of this happening to families eating their own family members.

00:14:41.840 Parents.

00:14:43.040 Siblings.

00:14:43.360 Even in some cases, children.

00:14:49.380 Child abandonment.

00:14:50.520 Child selling. 0.92

00:14:51.340 Prostitution. 0.99

00:14:54.260 In some cases, there are even stories of parents killing their own children. 0.87

00:15:00.380 Which they considered an act of mercy.

00:15:02.900 Rather than allow them to starve.

00:15:06.140 All of this in Chairman Mao's quest for a communist utopia.

00:15:12.280 His quest to make everything equal under heaven.

00:15:18.260 His quest to right the wrongs of a capitalist, right-wing, imperialist society.

00:15:30.140 Parents forced to kill their own children.

00:15:33.300 People eating their own neighbors.

00:15:35.180 These stories, by the way,

00:15:41.160 You won't find them in a Hollywood movie.

00:15:44.200 You won't find them anywhere in China.

00:15:46.560 Because Hollywood is terrified

00:15:48.160 To tell the truth

00:15:50.120 Of what happened in China

00:15:51.600 Under Chairman Mao.

00:15:53.160 They're terrified

00:15:54.560 To tell the truth

00:15:55.940 Of the Chinese Communist Party

00:15:57.800 To this very day.

00:15:59.240 The most horrific

00:16:01.180 Humanitarian crisis

00:16:02.960 On the planet.

00:16:04.620 50 million,

00:16:05.720 60 million people

00:16:06.560 Dead

00:16:07.040 In peacetime.

00:16:08.520 And there isn't a single movie

00:16:11.800 About it.

00:16:13.340 Why do you suppose that is?

00:16:17.500 So the Great Leap Forward

00:16:18.980 Ended

00:16:19.420 In disaster.

00:16:21.720 Mass starvation

00:16:22.460 Tens of millions killed.

00:16:24.600 Many of the other senior leaders

00:16:26.120 Of the Chinese Communist Party

00:16:27.620 People like

00:16:29.040 Deng Xiaoping

00:16:30.100 People like

00:16:32.080 Liu Xiaqi

00:16:33.440 Realized

00:16:35.420 That they had

00:16:37.180 To come up

00:16:37.920 With a new plan.

00:16:40.200 And so they went

00:16:40.700 To Chairman Mao

00:16:41.360 And they said

00:16:41.820 Let us take over

00:16:42.720 Economic reforms.

00:16:44.160 We can work on this.

00:16:46.080 We can make things better.

00:16:48.160 We can set things right.

00:16:49.700 And initially

00:16:50.240 Chairman Mao said

00:16:51.080 Fine.

00:16:51.700 Go ahead.

00:16:53.620 But then something happened.

00:16:55.820 As Deng Xiaoping

00:16:56.620 And Liu Xiaqi

00:16:58.000 And the other individuals

00:17:00.080 Who are running

00:17:01.580 These new reforms

00:17:02.740 In China 0.51

00:17:03.340 Mao became very upset

00:17:05.500 Because he saw themselves

00:17:07.960 As being successful

00:17:09.620 And they were winning

00:17:12.080 Over the people

00:17:12.860 But Mao didn't like that

00:17:15.380 One bit.

00:17:16.580 He didn't want anyone

00:17:18.180 To have that kind of

00:17:20.180 Connection with the people

00:17:21.080 Other than him.

00:17:23.060 But the problem was

00:17:24.380 For the people that had lived

00:17:25.520 Through

00:17:26.180 The Great Leap Forward

00:17:29.000 The people who understood

00:17:29.960 The years of famine

00:17:31.000 They understood

00:17:31.960 Who was to blame

00:17:32.780 And they'd already been swung

00:17:34.680 So anyone who was over 18

00:17:38.960 Understood

00:17:39.700 That it was

00:17:41.040 Chairman Mao's

00:17:41.920 Issue

00:17:42.800 So Chairman Mao

00:17:45.560 Came up

00:17:46.120 With a new solution

00:17:47.340 He decided

00:17:49.760 He decided

00:17:49.780 That people like

00:17:51.760 Deng Xiaoping

00:17:52.460 And people like

00:17:54.040 Liu Xiaqi

00:17:54.940 These other party leaders

00:17:56.680 Or anyone

00:17:58.020 Who opposed

00:17:59.840 His rule

00:18:00.680 His unquestioned rule

00:18:03.420 Must then

00:18:05.340 Be 0.99

00:18:06.100 Eliminated 1.00

00:18:07.580 And purged

00:18:08.820 And Mao launched

00:18:11.160 Something

00:18:11.600 In 1966

00:18:13.260 That can only be

00:18:15.380 Referred to as

00:18:16.460 A revolution

00:18:17.520 Against his own

00:18:18.940 Revolution

00:18:19.680 And he used

00:18:22.160 The youth

00:18:23.300 In order to do this

00:18:24.260 He began to hold

00:18:25.100 Massive

00:18:25.880 Stadium filled

00:18:27.540 Speeches

00:18:28.300 Broadcasts

00:18:29.860 Across the news

00:18:30.680 Across everywhere

00:18:31.720 Speeches from

00:18:33.440 Tiananmen Gate

00:18:34.240 In Tiananmen Square

00:18:35.500 And he brought

00:18:37.200 These youth

00:18:38.520 To him

00:18:38.980 These new cadres

00:18:39.860 That he referred to as

00:18:40.960 The Red Guards

00:18:42.500 And the Red Guard

00:18:44.040 Brigades

00:18:44.660 Were then

00:18:45.540 Formed in

00:18:46.880 Every city

00:18:47.780 In every province

00:18:49.020 From the cities

00:18:50.520 Of the east

00:18:51.120 To the deserts

00:18:52.180 Of the west

00:18:52.720 To the countryside

00:18:53.920 To the south

00:18:55.540 And Mao asked

00:18:58.180 For only one thing

00:18:59.120 Unquestioned

00:19:01.060 Loyalty

00:19:01.940 To himself

00:19:02.780 And unquestioned

00:19:04.000 Loyalty

00:19:04.580 To the revolution

00:19:05.840 If you were accused

00:19:08.780 Of anti-revolutionary

00:19:10.080 Thought
