Link of the Week Suzanne Scholte, president of the Defense Forum Foundation and secretary of the U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, highlights the case of Sohn In Kuk, a North Korean refugee caught by Communist China, and murdered by North Korean officers in the PRC border prison �while the Chinese border guards and prison officials simply watched.� The story was in the Washington Post. On Communist China Jamming RFA and VOA Edward Kaufman, in the Washington Times, rips Communist China for its jamming of Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, and calls on the U.S. to demand it stop, or block Communist Chinese media from broadcasting here. On North Korea and Taiwan George Jonas, in the Canadian National Post, warns that the price of Communist Chinese cooperation on North Korea�s nuclear ambitions may have been �a freer hand� for the Communists on Taiwan. Of course, that assumes the recent Bush-Jiang summit actually led to that �cooperation,� outside of the usual PRC rhetoric about a �nuclear-free Korea,� which it has parroted for decades. On the Communist Reshuffle CNN (no author byline) looks at the rise of Jiang Zemin, set to leave as PRC President next year and head of the Communist Party next week, but not going anywhere as head of the Central Military Commission. Meanwhile, Willy Wo-Lap Lam (CNN) examines the �hard road ahead� for his successor, Hu Jintao, and the prospects for reform in the future PRC.
