如果1959-1961年期间中国有大规模饿死上千万人的事件，有没有可能在米国国务院的
机密情报里只字不提？

下面这两段是米国对三年自然灾害以及人民公社的评价。
The Communist leaders mobilized the nation in a vast economic
development program designed to transform Communist China into an
industrial power. They inaugurated a vast land redistribution program and
collectivization. Through five-year plans, the industrial goals set by the
government were met and, by the early 1960s, exceeded. But there was a
considerable lag in agricultural production. The “Great Leap Forward”
program was initiated to sustain industrial growth and to revolutionize
agricultural production by the mass mobilization of the countryside. The
hoped-for self-sufficient “people’s communes” would be responsible for
agricultural mechanization and improvement, local industrialization, and
other social and economic functions. The primary goal of the commune was to
utilize local labor and resources to raise overall production.

大批饿死人】
By the early 1960s, however,crop failures, natural disasters, and a
recalcitrant peasantry, which had learned over the centuries to reject
external compulsion, forced the government to acknowledge the failure of the
agricultural “Great Leap Forward.” The Communists transformed Chinese
life in many ways. Road, rail, and air transportation physically unified the
country for the first time. Significant efforts
were made to improve public health and sanitation and to combat illiteracy (
including a simplification of Chinese characters), women were accepted
equally in many professions, and child marriage and concubinage were
outlawed. It seemed that the Communists were refashioning the habits and
ethos of an entire population. The seeds of the Great Cultural Revolution
had been planted and were being cultivated. |
