I'll help you out.

The death of 20 million people in forced labor camps between 1949 and 1956

The death of 20 to 30 million as a result of Mao's decision to create agricultural communes.

The death of at least 10 million people of the Cultural Revolution, which Mao was directly responsible.

The wrongful imprisonment and torture of 134 million people.

And let's not forget the genius idea to take a million Chinese farm laborers and have them man six hundred thousand backyard furnaces to create very poor quality steal.
