CHINA - Cultural Revolution: An anniversary China wants to forget



It is 50 years since the start of one of the most turbulent times in China's history. 
The chairman of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong, began the Cultural Revolution in 1966 in a bid to reinforce his leadership.  Some historians say more than 1.5 million Chinese people may have been killed in the 10 years of violence that followed.
