During the heyday of the Civil Rights Era in America, 40+ million Chinese starved to death, and the ones who complained about it were tortured to death over the following decade. But Shanghai is well beyond Detroit for some odd reason...
Yep, and we'll see it again when North Korea opens up. Count 18 years from the day Juche ends, and they'll be sending kids to Harvard at a rate Harvard finds excessive.
