Man tror det er løgn. Politiken skriver en neutral/positiv artikel om Mao. Det svarer til, at de skrev en artikel om Hitlers fødselsdag og nævnte, at mange stadigvæk beundrer ham.
Mao var værre end Hitler, fordi han slog flere ihjel:
"In contrast, critics, including many historians, have characterized him as a dictator whose administration oversaw systematic human rights abuses, and whose rule is estimated to have contributed to the deaths of 40–70 million people through starvation, forced labor and executions, ranking his tenure as the top incidence of democide in human history."

"Whate the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history."
---David Rockefeller, statement about Mao Tse-tung in The New York Times, August 10, 1973
