Yes, that’s why mao don’t choose the western way to conquer other countries and make other neighbor countries become slave. As a nation that can beat down American twice on north South Korean War and viet kong war. Easily beat kao the Indian troops invasion back to India. If mao want to do that, actually can very easily do that. But at the end he choice not to do that, he chose to restructure his own country and his whole nation and sacrificed many their own people. Indeed a paintful path. Of coz a lot wrong things done to their own people.

Mao has another words. “Everyone do their best within themselves, don’t bother or disturb other.” He want his own nation suffer the most instead of other. Only this way the nation will rise up again.
