Sir:

We noted with some surprise a recent announcement in The Washington Post of your intention to openly engage in political subversion in our country.

We're told you are "very, very interested in how to reach into China, how to (bypass our government and) reach Chinese citizens directly", and that you have enlisted help from apparent Chinese "dissidents", asking where and how you should use your leverage.

As we understand it, you mean to try to corrupt the allegiance of our people by attempting to destroy our loyalty and patriotism, to turn us against our own government, and to use us as pawns to undermine the foundation of our own country.

We are writing to express our objection.

The Whole thing is available from this site:

What an ultranationalistic, reactionary, screed. He writes as if China is some poor abused innocent country and as if things like the 1959 takeover of Tibet, its invason of Vietnam and India its irredentist claims on other country's territories & its horrible human rights record are all "non existent" (well according to Sinofascist doublespeak they are).

The guy who wrote the letter is a complete joke. Those people who say that "human rights are an internal affair" or other patent nonsense usually have something to hide.

For sure, PM. "Sinofascist" is going to bring reaction, but you obviously have broad shoulders. Wunderbar.

I foresee no good coming from lowering the bar to such an extent in this desperate search for friends and allies Gaian.

Your "observation" is terribly inscrutable, Sj, but I thought that this :

"Conclusion

Mr. Obama, China’s internal affairs are none of your business," had a familiar ring.

Does he vote at all in that society? Does he have a stake in it other than what the latest briefing note from Goldman Sachs tells him?

What would be the appropriate penalty for that Sinofascist, Patrick?

The [url=http://rabble.ca/babble/lgbtq/homophobic-bully-found-guilty-all-counts#c... penalty[/url]?

Or perhaps he [url=http://rabble.ca/babble/news-rest-us/political-philosophy-juche#comment-... should be shot[/url]?

How about shooting him out of a circus cannon into an open field full of old rusty 19th century farm equipment and land mines?

EXPORTING "AMERICAN VALUES": Washington's "Human Rights" Fraud

Bill Van Auken wrote:
The Obama administration has claimed the right to sentence US citizens to indefinite military detention without trial and even murder them on the sole say-so of the president that they are "terrorist suspects." Domestic spying has been sharply intensified and the illegal prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba remains open. As the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations showed, public challenges to the rule of the financial oligarchy are met with police violence.

Tired of unending "human rights" attacks from Washington, China has taken to issuing its own annual human rights critique of the United States, pointing to its 2.3 million prison population, the highest rate of incarceration in the world, everyday police killings and brutality, and the denial of elementary social and economic rights of employment, housing and health care to millions of Americans.

"The United States ignores its own serious human rights problems, but has been keen on advocating the so-called ‘human rights diplomacy' to take human rights as a political instrument to defame other nations' image and seek its own strategic interests," the most recent report issued by Beijing states. "These facts fully expose its hypocrisy by exercising double standards on human rights and its malicious design to pursue hegemony under the pretext of human rights."

The crass utilization of "human rights" to cloak predatory US imperialist interests recalls nothing so much as the claims heard in the 1930s from Adolf Hitler that he was acting to stop depredations against German populations, or from Mussolini that he was waging a war against a "savage regime" in Ethiopia.

It doesn't. It's just my real last name modified to sound more "Russian".

No, I didn't write the letter. But I did post it because I think that his complaints are rather common (i.e. that the US still wants to be an imperialist bully telling other countries how they should behave) not just for the Chinese but for everyone around the world, even while they bomb other countries, can imprison people indefinitely now, or even strip you of your citizenship without warning (thus defining you as an "enemy combatant") and then shoot you without penalty.
