The Human Cost of Communism in China study
A subcommittee report led by Senator James Eastland cites a human cost of Chinese communism, estimating 50 million deaths in the period 1921 to 1970 with broad ranges. Richard Walker notes estimates lean toward 50 million, while acknowledging economic and social gains claimed by the regime. The study, ordered July 27, frames the issue ahead of Nixon’s Peking visit and discusses the rise of the Chinese Communist Party to Mao Zedong’s mainland rule.
