Millions? Please. CCP as it's now was created after reforms by Deng. Most people died due to Mao. CCP back then was only Mao loyalists. CCP endorsed Mao only to gain public legitimacy as the ruling party, since back then China was still a poor country prone to revolts and extremist ideas.

Their policies changed, so they're no longer responsible for their own history?
The current generations are not responsible for historical things they didn't order or did.
As for the country as an abstract in general, sure. As much as other countries are responsible for their own history.
I don't think most folks I know in the US are willing to touch the historical wrongs (genocide and slavery) with a 3.048M pole.
Nothing the US has done is covered up the way the CCP has covered up the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

I hear those discussed quite often in the US. Someone is obviously willing. And more importantly, it's legal.
