Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

In response to your graph and the question of what changed - antibiotics became widespread after ww2, and medical care in general advanced greatly.

Is there some specific policy you think mao implimented that had a bigger impact than those?

Not to mention the many miliions who died during the great leap forward, I'm sure they were reassured by such statistics while they starved to death.
