So China is known for not valuing human life as much as western countrys. So if China would have fought a WW1 style war would they shoot cilvilians and use the dead bodys to create meatwalls instead of digging themselves into the ground?

Nah, they'd just flood rivers and kill twice as many people than the Nanking Massacre they like to bitch about all the time
>>3154122
No, they probably would have used trenches or fought like Kai-Shek and the Nationalists did against the Japanese in 1931.

No.
Its a meme that China values no life. The only reason the casulties are so huge is because China is HUGE. Not just HUGE, XBOX HEUG. Imagine if all of Europe united. China would still have roughly large population and economy for most of its history.
Europe has been divided because european kingdoms couldn't get along with one another and were always vying for small powers. This is why even the "great" european wars are so tiny compared to China.

No, it's because more of them died

Peasants starving to death is pretty common in all parts of the world though, why is China so special?

Probably the part about causing it by being super autistic and killing sparrows? I mean Stalin gets plenty of shit about the whole Ukrainian thing, but Mao really took it to another level

Because outside of the Holdomodor there weren't mass starvations in Europe.
