"Murdered"... No, there was no intent. They starved, because of a number of counter productive measures. Mao would not instigate the great leap forward had he known the consequences in advance.
Hiroshima/Nagasaki was murder
Rape of Nanjing was murder
The holocaust was murder
Great Leap forward was a very big unintentional mistake.
Absolute numbers are deceptive (and depressing) when talking about China, but it is often better to look at percentages.
Your Attack on the GP's morality is uncalled for. I think you need to check your own ideology and emotion at the door, and discuss things rationally.
