The Week�s Links: Feature and Opinion Pieces on Communist China April 11, 2003 Link of the Week: PRC spy Katrina Leung Rene Sanchez, Washington Post, profiles the �Parlor Maid,� as FBI counterintelligence called Katrina Leung. Leung, a GOP fundraiser and supposed spy for the U.S. against the PRC, was actually a Communist agent who compromised her FBI �handler� by having an affair with him. She was arrested for espionage in California this week. More on this will be coming in the next Update. On Communist China and the Terrorist War Fred Barnes, Weekly Standard, calls on the U.S. and its allies to keep the United Nations � including Security Council member Communist China � as far away from Iraq as possible. Check out the latest on the Communist China and the Terrorist War page. On SARS and Communist China Ellen Bork, Deputy Director of the Project for the New American Century, compares the secretive reaction to SARS in Communist China and Hong Kong to the openness of Taiwan, which has seen no SARS fatalities. Jim Erickson, in Time Asia, finds a similar comparison between Hong Kong and Singapore. Holly Williams, BBC, finds a haunting parallel between the Communist secrecy on SARS and how it has mishandled, and covered up, the AIDS epidemic in the PRC. In both cases, �The government here has decided to put state control before the health of its own citizens.� Susan Jakes, in Time Asia, talks to Jiang Yanyong, the retired doctor who blew the whistle on the Communist cover-up in Beijing (see last Update).
