Honestly too much of the book is quotable tbh, I keep wanting to post quotes but at a certain point I’d just be posting a pdf of the entire book :p. She’s a good writer, I reccomend giving both her fiction and non fiction a read.

    Its funny when westerners try to lecture chinese people about their own leaders lmao

    Whether she knew but ignored the truth that Mao had tens of millions killed, or whether she really had no idea, it makes no difference: the lasting reputation of Suyin (1917-2012) is that she was a useful idiot.

      Whether this author knew but ignored the truth that capitalism kills ten million every year, or whether they had no idea, it makes no difference: the lasting impression is that they are an empty-headed piece of shit.
