What happened in China in 1960? O.o
That was the middle of Mao Zedong's disastrous Great Leap Forward initiative, which due to mismanagement saw vast numbers of people starve to death.
But even with that disaster Mao still raised life expectancy more than the world average from 1955 to 1976(when he died).
