Applying American excess mortality rates to China does not tell you how many people died from Covid in China but does give us a clearer picture of how many lives Xi Jinping has saved.

Yeah its wild how much of the Korean Hallyu wave is based of SEA exports and now slowly but steadily in South Asia. Meanwhile Korean managers in India are cartoonishly racist. Regarding Netflix: Their evil black money gave us Kingdom so I can't be too miffed at them.

That's really weird but I can sort of understand the logic, both countries had severe famines. If anything you'd think it would also endear them to china, which has suffered like four or five severe famines in the past 100 years or so

The only thing I know about Holodomor are background and surrounding details of USSR. Paradoxes of Power by Peter Kotkin spends some time on it. But generally speaking Holodomor wasn't anything more than a famine. The early years of USSR were spent on turning an economy that was built around agricultural production into an industrial economy. The peasants weren't communists or bolsheviks, they were always in conflict with the government. The NEP (New Economic Policy) was supposed to just let the peasants do their own thing and the bolsheviks would collect a percentage of what they produced as tax, but that didn't work and what was collected was a lot lower than expected. That led to some heavy handed measures like forced collectivization, and dekulakaization. So in the 30s there was a horrible famine in the middle of this conflict between the peasants and the communists government. The government continued to take agricultural produce as tax assuming that the peasants were just trying to withhold it because they were uncooperative. It wasn't until later that enough reports made it through that there was a famine and that there was just not enough food being produced for people to eat and to sell to the west. At which point the government reversed their course and attempted to provide relief for the famine. It wasn't some planned genocide campaign by Stalin, but it probably was some mismanagement and circumstances making a bad famine even worse. I don't know if you can really hold anyone at fault for it.

Pretty much, it was a horrible famine, and you can point to government failures that didn't help, but there was no policy that could have prevented it. The famine hit during a major conflict that already reduced crops, you can argue that it was wrong to continue the taxation program during the beginning of it but in the context of a major clash between farmers already actively sabotaging their own crops to protest/damage the central authority measures it's pretty understandable why the initial reports of lack of production were chalked up to more of that. There's valid things to critique, slowness of response, the staggered response to the initial conflict, etc, but the idea Stalin 'caused' it or it was a planned genocide is insane.
