School children in China are taught that the red in the Chinese regime’s flag represents the blood of communist martyrs. No mention is made of  the tens of millions killed by the Chinese Communist Party.

According to the “Black Book of Communism,” the classic academic text on communist killings, the Chinese regime is the most murderous among the major communist dictatorships, overseeing some 65 million deaths. The Soviet Union is a distant second at 20 million.
