The thing about China is that you can't use people who died to prove the famine "death toll" because it's about 50% the statistical abstraction of people who weren't born rather than literal people who died.
You can if you are a ridiculous person. It's what they actually did!
It's ridiculous to do so but also it's not consistent with how we look at other countries. If black book authors applied the same reasoning to India or basically any colonized place in Africa they'd have much larger numbers to contend with re: capitalism. But they are sophist propagandists so of course they don't do that.
