Or this is like the long history of American tariffs which gave it world class industry. We are in the midst of a 4th industrial revolution and all this insane manufacturing tech being developed just gets shipped over to china because nobody in the US wants to touch it for fear of failing.

For every four pests Mao had 100 successful projects that nobody talks about. Harm reduction is not an optimal strategy for any game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

The Great Chinese Famine was a famine that occurred between 1959 and 1961 in the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million).

That's 3% to 10% of China's population starved to death at the time.
