Original Note:
This is misleading. The Great Chinese Famine (1958-1961) killed approx. 30 million people, during Mao's reign. Before that, six million peasants starved during the Warlord Period (1916-27), and another 8 million people died during the Nationalist Period (1927-49): https://alphahistory.com/chineserevolution/great-chinese-famine/ For context https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041350/life-expectancy-china-all-time/
