For sale: Chairman Mao's private jet

[shadowzach00]

it belongs in a china national museum!!!!

[AlienBusDriver]

Mao fascinates me was arguably the most powerful man in the world for 30 years or more. Spruiked communism but lived the most hedonistic lifestyle there was. Hitler was more communist than Mao. Hitler actually said no dont build that it's to expensive and didnt flaunt his wealth. Mao on the other hand had the best of everything. Is the private life of chairman mao a reliable book or is it all hogshit? Cool plane if I was a billionaire I would buy it.

[thatkindofguy234]

@AlienBusDriver From what I've heard, that book is a load of shit. What many anti-communists fail to see is that when Mao died, Deng Xiaping spread loads of bullshit about Mao in order to stop socialism from evolving any futher in China.

[AlienBusDriver]

@thatkindofguy234 There are people on both sides of the spectrum wikipedia doesnt like it but who takes wikipedia seriously. No doubt there are probably some areas of exaggeration but atm i take it on face value. People just cant see Mao for what he was an utter hypocrite and failure and being confronted with evidence of it in a book makes them confront it and they dont like it

[Fergusforslipknot]

wait, I thought mao disagreed with capitalism? Mao could only have acquired a private jet through economic greed. It was my understanding that Mao wanted money to be redistributed and not concentrated to select individuals as if it was another political/social hierarchy. Hypocricy of communism in its prime. Leaders in a communist system contradict the system all together with corrupts pricks like mao.

[TalonMercenary]

i prefer his train

[AlienBusDriver]

@TalonMercenary Mao used his train alot more eh

[AlienBusDriver]

@TalonMercenary Is there any high quality images of Mao's train that you know of?

[TalonMercenary]

@AlienBusDriver There aren't many pictures, but there are some close ups by typing in "mao's train" into google images. They have his face on the front ;)

[AlienBusDriver]

@TalonMercenary saw those one's thanks for the reply, wish there were some active photos of his train...kim jong-il still used a luxury train lol

[AK47COMBAT]

ill buy it for 50 million dollars

[4crevis]

...How on earth did they get it there?!

[MrSocial78]

Hmm runs on communism.

[leklek69]

THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY. IF CHINA'S COMMUNIST PARTY SERVES ITS IMPOVERISHED PEOPLE WHY SHOULD ITS LEADER ENJOY THE COMFORTS OF A PRIVATE JET

[Grant691]

@leklek69 China's capitalist. Never was communist to begin with. Capitalism allows this kind of stuff.

[allelujah12341]

who's that i diot bussiness men to sell the Mao private jet for someone, for me is deny and better put to the china national museum better good!!!

[theyeti101101]

I have yet to hear a western reporter pronounce "yuan" correctly.

[Justinh789]

Several million juan? so like 3$?

[tabs6965]

@Justinh789  yeah, the way they are buying $ , soon $100 bills will replace the toilet paper in their jets !

[Mreleezy]

FUCK THOSE FUCKING SELLERS DUMMIES

MAO LONG LIVE

[SpielekommentareDE]

couple million yuan? so you mean a couple euros?

[CYTL1960]

This should originally be state property. Wondering from where Mr.. Wang bought it? Or, who made the decision to sell it?

[cyhsteven]

i bought it

[oildon]

I appear all you people are mistaken. Mao cannot be blamed for so many deaths, for many of them occurred as the unfortunate result of his rash decisions. Are you saying Mao is to blame for the deaths of many people through the sadistic hands of lower officials? China is a big country, big. Therefore, you can't hardly expect him to crack down on every single issue. And you can't attribute the deaths entirely to Mao, because most of them were cause by lower officials anyways.

[Squad2ND]

@oildon

You contradict yourself by first saying: "Mao cannot be blamed for so many deaths" and then say: "many of them occurred as the unfortunate result of his rash decisions". You say that lower-officials were the cause of the high toll of deaths... that's crap! The officials were loyal to Mao, did what he said. They wouldn't act on their own. Don't spread fud about an era of the Chinese history that is well-documented. It's simply a sign of ignorance that you deny what historians make clear.

[oildon]

@Squad2ND That's no contradiction at all, my friend. He did kill people, but I was saying he couldn't be blamed for so many deaths. As for the lower officials opinion, that's your opinion as well. You are so easily controlled by the mainstream information. Mao didn't directly order so many people to die, for he wasn't a sadist. Think what you want, but your information is so damn wrong.

[oildon]

@Squad2ND Oh, and people can act by themselves. Are you calling the human race incapable of autonomy, because that is one huge fallacy to be supporting.

[catnipcraze1]

some basic truth: the chinese don't work 18 hours a day for just 3 dollars. no. the simple truth is that the GDP per capita in china is actually close to 8,000 dollars, and their gini index is way lower than the US, about 41, so you can't say on average, people make only 1,000 dollars a yr, nah. more like 24 dollars a day for 8,000 dollars a yr, but do remember, their domestic commodity price is low.

[vangard213]

Wonder what happened to the interior ? Looked like someone went in and stripped it down.

[runrunforest1]

i thought mao hates every western. And he was owning a UK aircraft. Well done sir Mao

[k001k1dzm4n14]

that airplane inside probably has red walls and red furniture with a red hooker, with a pile of books of mao zedongs quotes before.

[pramod030489]

lolllz @ seaside shopping centre

[63gstone]

I quess some people are more equal than others.

[civicnation4two]

Nuke the thing.....many countries are shedding the horrors of the past. China is the last one to do so.

[nightracerx]

I thought Mao hated travel by air, he always took trains.

[jrgair]

I offer 1.3 US call me @ 409-766-1800 James

[jrgair]

I offer 1.3 US call me @ 409-766-1800 James Gair

[smeatonlad]

This Belongs in a Museum not a Bidding Centre GIVE IT TO THE MUSEUM OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION (I'm a Communist :3)

[mallcorekidsdie]

burn the fuckin' thing along with all the evil commies inside.

[koutz1987]

several million yuan = 34 US dollars

[Leibinz]

@koutz1987 Although now 34 yuan = several million US dollars

[2010Tibetan]

Mao came frm hell now back in hell...

[rumpwrestler]

@2010Tibetan and that is where he'll meet both bush and cheney

[Movegas1]

It a trident!!!! What's mao flying in a western biz jet for? Made in the UK..... Hipocrate!!!!

[MrReco12]

@Movegas1

The jet is a fake.

[AndrewBell]

it would go for several million yuan?

10 yuan= 1 pound.

lets talk 100,000,000s of yuan yeah?

[StarbucksChunks]

Piss on it and then burn it. Mao KILLED some 60 or 70 MILLION people. It's too bad it didn't crash with that evil bastard in it.

[Jasonthegaiface]

@StarbucksChunks No one has an actual head count, not even the Chinese government. Take your false info somewhere else.

[StarbucksChunks]

@Jasonthegaiface So what you're saying is that it's okay if he only killed 35 or 40 Million people? And we shouldn't judge people if they only killed 35 or 40 MILLION people..... although it's okay if we could actually prove he killed the full 60-70 million. I see. So ..... let's not be too harsh, or let's not "Judge".

You're a fool! And the fact you're willing to go out on a limb and sympathize with such a monster shows how much you value life.

[bjaws]

From Communism to Capitalism.....

[mallcorekidsdie]

burn it, blow it up and piss on it, it belonged to the cruelest dictator ever. fuck mao.

[Amoneth]

@mallcorekidsdie

seems that you like the word piss...

[MrReco12]

@mallcorekidsdie

Mao is a hero you poor dunce.

[rumpwrestler]

@mallcorekidsdie ever hear of george bush, puppet for cheney?

[ironmaidenowns]

@mallcorekidsdie He may of been cruel but he did everything for the greater good and you can see it today. China and India will be the two biggest economic powers, just you wait and fucking see. You are just pissed because china enabled korea and vietnam to defeat the US in their only two wars lost. Nobody in history was a better military tactician than he was.

[AllucardBRZ]

@ironmaidenowns "He may of been cruel but he did everything for the greater good and you can see it today." Did you just say that? So I guess it is OK to slaughter millions of people for the greater good. Ask the average Chinese what he thinks of working 18 hours a day for 3 dollars. Very few Chinese are able to enjoy all this new money that came to China in the 21st century. The reason why we don't know about the people complaining is because of something called censorship.

[lerlo]

@AllucardBRZ when did mao slaughter MILLIONS of people?

[shananagans5]

@lerlo WoW, maybe you should do some homework.

[lerlo]

@shananagans5 enlighten me

[Jasonthegaiface]

@AllucardBRZ Actually, Mao didn't 'slaughter' anyone. 

[yamahonkawazuki]

@Jasonthegaiface were tehy slaughtered under his direction then?, or are you saying it didnt happen at all?

[kightremin]

@mallcorekidsdie u go to hell

[N00btuberXXX]

@mallcorekidsdie He was a dictator, as were all the fucking u.s presidents. So fuck off yankee!!!!

[wilatemodel]

what a pos.....

[93MANIAC]

What model is that plane ?

[MOJONIXION]

Its scrap. Melt it down and sell it back to the chinese as Coke Cans. Mao was the same as Hilter ,Lenin, Stalin, Miloshavic. and other thugs.

[obidobidoo]

@MOJONIXION they may have been thugs. But they were great leaders. And the idea to have a revolution was also very good, but sadly mao then turned on the peasents who had helped him.

[vonriktoven]

@MOJONIXION

that sound good too.

[warriorprince1010]

Mao killed 40 million human beings and traveled around in private plane claiming he didn't like rich people. Mao was the most perverse animal in human history.

[obidobidoo]

@warriorprince1010 he didnt like rich farmers. Who looked down on the peasents. So he helped revolte with the peasents to get to the top. Same principle with J.Stalin.

[warriorprince1010]

So why didn't Mao make the poor farmers rich then? He starved millions to death and took immense pleasure in it, he was an animal.

[vonriktoven]

If i had the money i would buy it and repaint it in Red White and Blue and fly it around doing humanitarian airlifts for the Dali Lama :-)

Or maybe just deface it with graffiti and pore salt all over it and cause it to rot.  one way or another id piss of the chinese the best i could with it. FUCK MOW AND FUCK CHINA!!!

[sabby123456789]

So do you hate the Chinese from the People's Republic of China or do you hate everyone who is ethnically Chinese?

[vonriktoven]

@sabby123456789

I hate Communism not an ethnicity. don't put word in my mouth you fucktard there is NO defense for Mao.

[sabby123456789]

You did say "Fuck China" and something about "pissing off the Chinese". Explain how is that not supposed to sound like hating an ethnicity.

[vonriktoven]

@sabby123456789

i didn't say chinese i said China. you cant read English well enough to tell the difference so let me put it a less ambiguous way for you. Taiwan ROCKS!!!!! PRC SUCKS!!! asshole.

[sabby123456789]

You said "one way or another id piss of the CHINESE the best i could with it." Do you not see the word "CHINESE" in your sentence? And now you claim that you never said Chinese. LOL What a fool!

[vonriktoven]

@sabby123456789

no i think its fairly clear im talking about communist fucktards your still trying to put words in my mouth. But I am glad it pissed you off. this is fun. you know i did a little dance when Mow died and sang "ding dong the witch is dead" we had a party pissed of some pinko hippies in my office that was fun too.

[sabby123456789]

Hahaha...what you said doesn't even bother me at all. There is a difference between a communist and a Chinese but you only referred to it as Chinese which was misleading. In the beginning I just asked you a simple question yet, you overreacted to it..lol

[vonriktoven]

@sabby123456789

seems to bother you alot. i think its clear i do not like commies i said nothing racist and you know it. your putting connotations that really weren't there. that shows me it bothered you, bothered you enough to comment on a 3 month old thread. the comment was meant to piss off people like you so it makes me happy FUCK CHINA!!! FUCK MAO!!

[sabby123456789]

*sigh* whatever

[sabby123456789]

I wasn't trying to harrass you or anything but I don't know why my question earlier set you off. I do not support communism but I hope you will not get so hyped up just because of a simple question next time. And I'm also an avid aviation fan as well. Cheers.

[vonriktoven]

@sabby123456789

that ok im not really bother either its just fun anti communist rhetoric. well implying im a racist did really piss me off a bit but not that much! you really have to twist my words to come up with a racist view there.

[Amoneth]

Some Chinese planes are once used by the British and the US. However they replaced with soviet ones like Antonov and Tupolev. But Trident seemed to be used by the higher officials like Mao and Lin Biao.

[vonriktoven]

@Amoneth

ummm USAF NEVER had any chinese made planes at all. US airlines never did ether there are NONE certified to fly in in the US.

[vonriktoven]

@vonriktoven

OoPS thats not entirely correct the USAF captured some planes and flew them for research.

[Amoneth]

@vonriktoven

I even don't like to sell that plane to the Amerikkkans. Better that plane to be preserved as a remnant of the Chinese Revolution. Selling it means selling the relic of the great helmsman. The plane is not like a mao book or whatsoever.

[vonriktoven]

@Amoneth

Mao was a disgrace to humanity and communist revolution a scourge.

[Amoneth]

For me, better not to be sold, rather donate it to the state and be placed in the museum of the Chinese Revolution. Somehow just like the cultural revolution it is sort of a relic-and selling it means selling mao.

[thelaughingman79]

@Amoneth selling mao is a good thing he is the worst mass murderer in human history

[AtheismCentral]

@Amoneth

LONG LIVE MAO

[spiritsA]

That plane's at least 40 years old. If anyone's going to buy it, they're buying it for its historical value.

[serolog2]

How much?

[pete5668]

i wonder if castro would buy it lol

[JSC652]

It's a Hawker Siddley Trident jet, made in UK, also used by BEA and China's CAAC airline.

[stevenroxyosox]

Very observant, anybody else would have thaught it was a Soviet jet lol

[InfiniteMushroom]

The video didn't say if it was a Yak-40 or something else. I just can't see Mao flying in a western bizjet but, it's possible.
