Would he have run China worse than Mao?

He wouldn't have run China at all.

It would be almost impossible to run China worse than Mao short of smuggling in 20 hydrogen bombs and detonating them across China's maritime coast.

probably not, but i do not think he had the skill to unify and rule china single-handedly like mao did.

Of course not. He was an overly divisive ass with an explosive Chinese temper that he couldn't control. Couldn't even be divisive correctly because he was hated by both the left and the right simultaneously.

Again, he wouldn't have run China at all.

>>1955588

Hey, give Tojo a chance, will ya?

>>1955747
only yes in this thread

Mao had essentially the same strategy as Trump: to abandon the cities and take the countryside. Now all Trump has to do is assert his independence from the Russians.

Chiang didn't even run China. Apart from exerting tenuous control in his own controlled cities, his nation was rife with warlords, corruption and extreme poverty. He had absolutely zero popular support and only support he did receive was from wealthy tycoons who abandoned him as soon as the going got tough against the Japanese and then against Mao.

Mao at least managed to unify the country, double life expectancy and literacy, expel foreign ownership, industrialise a largely agrarian country and lift a good portion of Chinese out of poverty.

And then he went a spoiled it by saying something stupid like "Great Leap Forward".

He's run it horribly in his own special way.

I remember reading a book the other day that says exactly like.

Chinese Liberalism and the ROC failed because the urban elites with their vision of democracy and modernisation did nothing to appeal to the problems of the rural poor. It's fascinating to think that the CCP largely started with an urban base before they decided to make the rural poor their base.

What would be ironic is if the CCP goes the same way as Poland, a grassroot, democratic movement based from the countryside (the very people they are supposed to represent) ends up overthrowing them.

>>1955590
This. China would have been what Japan and Wicked Korea are today.

>>1955747
Yes

What book was that?

Reminder that Chiang Kai-shek initiated the Chinese civil war by taking bribes from Shanghai triads and turning on communists.

Hirohito would have been better yes

well, he runs prostitution rings better than him at least

>>1957456
Mao ran a pretty fucking elaborate prostitution ring. Not as great as Kim Il-Sung, but pretty big.
