China's Disastrous War Against Sparrows

This video is just a silly joke :) I love the CCP and the People's Republic of China :D

China's 4 pest campaign was billed as a way of reducing disease and food loss from vermin. Targeting mosquitos, flies, rats, and sparrows, the CCP initiated this campaign with the best of intentions. Unfortunately, radically altering your country's ecology and food chain can have major consequences.

As the Chinese killed sparrows by the millions, if not billions, fewer birds consumed their stores of rice. Unfortunately, with so few sparrows, locusts were able to breed and explode in population. The result is that China had massive crop failures thanks to a literal plague of Locusts in the early 1960s, contributing to the great famine and millions of deaths. Individuals bringing this to the attention of the CCP were suppressed (the party can't be wrong after all), but they worked to course correct their mass slaughter of sparrows.

China's authoritarian tendencies aren't isolated solely to their past. To this day, highly specific and sweeping bans are still common in China, led by their de facto dictator, Xi Jinpeng.
