Of course it doesn't make the crimes less heinous. If anything it makes them more heinous, because they failed to learn from those mistakes. Their statues will also be torn down.

I am pretty sure that CCP is less heinous and horrible comparing to those acts. This is exactly why I am strongly against labeling anyone Nazi without really comparing their actions. Westerners love to use terminology they are familiar with, 'colonism', 'slavery' and 'genocide'. I don't know what's the purpose of using these words rather than stating facts, personally I feel that they want to make themselves look good by associate these words with Chinese investment in Africa, Chinese factory and now Xinjiang.
