| FROM THE WASHINGTON TIMES Oliver North, on Communist China�s new military investment in Cuba, and Washington�s weak-kneed reaction to it. Gus Constantine, reporting on how the split between Communist China and Taiwan began, and Taiwan�s continuing effort to resist Communism and protect its newly built democracy. Peter Hadakel, of the Montreal Gazette, on what the Communist Chinese economy is really like. (Note: Although he appears to back WTO entry for the PRC, Hadakel�s analysis of its economy, with its ubiquitous state control, is dead on.) OTHER LINKS Craig Smith, New York Times, on Communist China alarming, and growing, use of the death penalty for non-violent crimes, such as corruption or, in the cases highlighted, unwittingly selling ammonium nitrate to a silent terrorist claiming to be a quarry operator. From the BBC, on the growing unrest in Communist China as the Party nears the 80th anniversary of its founding. Feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in receiving this.
