Abstract: A History of Massacres in China: What Makes the Chinese Such Lovers of Murder?Mr. Seki’s this book documents the use of mass slaughter by the Chinese as a normal method of political and social control. In the past, dynasties have been both heralded and terminated with massacres of thousands of soldiers and civilians. The current communist regime in Beijing is unexceptional in this regard. In fact, based on the historical use of massacres as a means of control, the Tiananmen Square Incident of 1989, in which hundreds if not thousands of civilians were killed, was an appalling but nonetheless predictable Chinese response to social unrest.
