The ''[[New York Times]]'' reported:<ref>Foster Hailey, ''New York Times Magazine'', (December 22, 1946), pp. 40-41.</ref>

{{QuoteBox|Most Americans who have visited Red China are accused of arriving at their judgements according to previously held prejudices. None denies, however, that in Communist China they have found matters of law and order, public health, equitable distribution of food and wealth, and other operations of Government carried out with greater earnestness and success than elsewhere in China or in most of Asia. . .<br>
 +
Another certainty is that the idea they represent, the [[hope]] they hold for the landless, overtaxed Chinese peasant, is not one that can be destroyed by force. . .}}

By 1956, during the [[Three Years of Disasters]], U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Grew commented,
 +
{{QuoteBox|The appalling figures on [[murder]]s committed by the Beijing Communist government are neither propaganda, exaggerations nor guesses. Since the Communists drove [[Chiang Kai-shek]] and the Nationalists off the mainland in 1949, official accounts in Red newspapers have listed the executions of millions of Chinese. . .<br>
 +
. . . The real total of Chinese deaths administered by Beijing probably would total a great deal more than the estimates. Few Chinese marked for death by Beijing had a chance to escape their executioners. The Communists masked their real intentions with a deceptively mild, restrained and orderly entry to power.<ref>Joseph C. Grew, ''Invasion Alert!'' (Baltimore, Maran Publishers, 1956), pp. 42-44.
