A letter to the editor in a Philippine Newspaper.....

"Those critical of the communist ideology ignore the fact that the Chinese Communist Party engineered the economic miracle whose crowning glory is Beijing’s hosting of the Olympics. China before Mao was a sleeping giant, a euphemism for a backward country ran by inept and corrupt “democratic” government like ours." (From the Sun Star Cebu Newspaper, Cebu Philippines)

No Sir we do not ignore the Chinese communist party.....We deny that they are as benevolent as you would make them out to be.....

In response to the "Miracle of China" paragraph in the most recent online edition of Sun Star.....Let's clarify a few points. Communist China is the world's largest pollution generating nation. Yes, inspite of what their government may claim, The Chinese spew more pollutants into the atmosphere than even the U.S.....Beijing is drowning in a sea of smog every bit at as bad as the worst day in Manila.

800 million Chinese still live in abject poverty with no real help on the horizon, and a government that doesn't care.

The Communist leaders of China are every bit as corrupt as any government on the planet, but since they have virtually complete control over the media they are also very good at hiding it.....
And making a statement about the corruption in government even as a back-handed slap, (like was done in the editorial as a slap to the Arroyo administration) and no matter how accurate the statement was, would at the very least be censored and never printed, but more likely would also have resulted in the author being jailed or interred in a "reeducation" facility (political prison) like some other 500,000 people are now, at best guess by various international human rights organizations.

The Chinese have built their economy on currency manipulation, slave labor, and to a great extent by selling substandard products into the American market at ridiculous prices to people who are too stupid to know the difference between quality and junk. Products containing lead, mercury, and other poisons that have killed or injured hundreds of people and animals are reuglarly exported from China to points all over the globe. In every instance that an injury or death has occurred the Chinese have denied any culpability, and refuse to take any responsibility.

They have a callous disregard for human life whether it's their own people (as evidenced by the thousands who died in Sichuan province because of horrific construction techniques and using materials not suitable for building even a dog house) or others around the globe (as evidenced by their stand on the Genocide in Darfur.)

So before talking in such glowing terms about China, understand that the Chinese business presence in the Philippines isn't about them having any interest in helping the average Filipino have a better life....It is about manipulating the Filipino people for the enrichment of Chinese investors.

Compassionate the Chinese government is not. Self-serving and greedy they most unequivocally are, and they are unquestionably very good at what they do....
So beware of the "Miracle of China" it's next victim could be you.

Be proud of your culture, your faith, and your freedom.....Do not forget the lessons learned during world war II. A people who are willing to give up a little freedom to ensure security will end up with neither.....

Thank you and good day.....
