The Week�s Links: Feature and Opinion Pieces on Communist China January 23, 2004 Dragon in the Dark: How and Why Communist China Helps Our Enemies in the War on Terror is now available! My book detailing Communist China�s history of aiding terrorist states, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, and al Qaeda can be ordered here, at Barnes and Noble, or at Amazon. � D.J. McGuire Link of the Week Lev Navrozov, Newsmax, carefully details the Communist Chinese threat to the United States. More on Communist China and the United States The editors of the Washington Times heave some well-deserved criticism at the resumption of military ties between the U.S. and Communist China. The editors then take the Communists to task for refusing to give Hong Kong the democracy promised in the Basic Law. Charles R. Smith, Newsmax, examines the PRC�s efforts to block American missile defense plans. John Derbyshire, National Review Online (and Member since 2002), supports the military aspects of the space program, but finds no value in a space race against the PRC. However, James Mazzei, of both the University of Maryland and George Mason University, notes in the Washington Times that the PRC�s space ambitions will certainly have military consequences. Meanwhile, Greg Easterbrook, in his Easterblogg (c/o The New Republic) thinks the President is merely �bluffing the Chinese to get them to build something on the Moon and thereby bankrupt their military.� If he�s right, we can only hope it works! On Taiwan Daniel McCarthy, in the Asia Times, blasts the �three myths� about Communist China and Taiwan. Kwon Tai-hyung, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Montevallo, calls on the United States not to sacrifice the island democracy for the sake of a North Korea deal, in the Epoch Times, HK. Harvey Feldman, of the Heritage Foundation, blasts Kenneth Lieberthal for his blame-Taiwan-first policy (see 1/10 Week�s Links), in the Washington Post. On the State of Workers in the Workers� State Louisa Lim, BBC, interviews Gao Mingyu, a migrant worker forced to become a labor activist after a PRC-owned firm refused to pay him and his fellow villagers up to $15,000 in wages. On Katrina Leung Michael Kirk produced �From China with Love,� a PBS documentary on Katrina Leung, FBI operative and alleged Communist Chinese spy (see 4/11/03, 5/2/03, 5/16/03, 5/23/03, and 5/30/03 Week�s Links). Leung had an affair with her FBI handler, and donated nearly $2 million to the Republican Party. Kirk held a Washington Post on-line discussion. On the New Television Battle in Communist China David Jerke, Epoch Times (and Member since 2003), celebrates the launch of New Tang Dynasty Television, the Chinese-language network doing battle with Communist-owned China Central Television both in the PRC and throughout the world. How the Other Side Sees Things A ridiculous column by Jeremy Bradshaw, in Newsmax of all places, is filled to the brim with misperceptions about Communist China�s economic and geopolitical policies.
