Comparing Mao and Hitler's body count

The Chinese Communist Party under Mao's leadership is linked to a body count ranging between 20 and 43 million people due to policies like the Lao Gai prison system. This count far surpasses Hitler's total of 12 million, which includes victims of the Holocaust, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Germans with mental deficiencies. Mao's impact appears to be higher in terms of loss of life, even though Hitler's involvement in his atrocities might have been more direct.
