It was literally a great reset to get the country aligned with the modern world. Millions died, but people died and suffered for countries to industrialize too.
Are you under the impression that the Great Leap Forward is responsible for China’s current relative economic success?

Of the Cults of Personalities, Maoism is the hardest to understand. The bigger a failure he was, the stronger the cult.
At every iteration, he would move down a social class for support. He lost the educated, professional class at the outset, so he moved to the rural farmers for the GLF. That was an unmitigated disaster that caused 60-80 million deaths. He was exiled and regained his strength by appealing to the uneducated and the youth for the CR.
