Fast auf die Minute 25 Jahre nach dem islamischen Terrorattentatt auf die New Yorker Twin Towers fand es die Tagesschau wichtig, das hier โฌ๏ธ zu verรถffentlichen.
Der ganze Laden gehรถrt geschlossen, die Belegschaft nach Gaza oder aufs Spargelfeld.
Fifty years ago today, news came that Mao had died.
Like hundreds of millions of Chinese, I remember exactly where I was when I heard it. Like everyone around me, I was terrified of a future without Mao, our โliving god.โ I could not imagine a world without him.
I spent my entire childhood and adolescence under Mao. Yet, I did not begin to grasp the full extent of his crimes against the Chinese people until I left China and gained access to uncensored information.
Yes, you can live through a regimeโs horrors without fully understanding its atrocities when subjected to relentless propaganda and indoctrination.
History is not taughtโnot in China, and sadly not in America either.
Fifty years after his death, Mao has gained new admirers, especially among the young. Chinese youth grow up knowing little of the Great Famine, the Cultural Revolution, or the tens of millions who died under his rule. To many, he remains a national hero.
In America, radical progressives like Hasan Pikerโwith millions of followersโopenly celebrate Mao as one of historyโs greatest leaders.
We must teach history, the real history. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from it.
