This article is about Mao Zedong. My partner and I plan to contribute to the article by including information regarding the treatment and condition of the population of China under his rule, specifically throughout the time period of the Great Famine. I will gather information from scholarly sources found in our library database.

Mao Zedong Article Contributions:
China's population suffered from the Great Famine during the late 20th century. This came as a result of the lack of food production and distribution to the population of China. The people of urban areas in China were given food stamps each month, but the people of rural areas were expected to grow their own crops and give some of the crops back to the government. The deaths in the rural parts of China out ranked the ones in the Urban cities. Also, the government of China continued to export food to other countries during the Great Famine; this food could have been used to feed the starving citizens. These factors lead to the catastrophic death of about 52 million citizens.
