Mao will be a footnote.

You're kidding. We're talking about a man responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people (the Great Leap Forward), destroys millions of priceless and historically important cultural artifacts and wastes the lives of a whole generation (the cultural revolution).

If such a man ever becomes a footnote in history books, than the historians will not be doing their job.

China has a long history. Mao malfeasance will be noted and despised and he will be belittled.

Stalin killed 20 million people and is a piker compared to Hitler’s organized murder of 10 million people.
