I find it unfortunate that the 30th anniversary of Mao Zedong's (
Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those nostalgic Mao worshipers. Au contraire: With China emerging as the new economic powerhouse of Asia, I think it is crucial for the free world to remember China's history and learn not to take things at face value.
Mao's anniversary did just that, by keeping us in touch with the true nature of the beast in the midst of this chaotic race toward world domination. It is clear that selective amnesia, being the prime syndrome of just about anyone doing business with China these days, has not only hit the majority but has become second nature for most.
Too many people deliberately fail to recognize that the Cultural Revolution never really died -- it was merely extended as what we know today to be the persecution of Falun Gong, whose members are being butchered for their organs all across China.
But all is not lost -- kudos to the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party (published by the Epoch Times, a Falun Gong newspaper) for exposing the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) shocking history, which has spread far and wide in China today.
So far 13 million Chinese people reacting to this truth have quit the party. While the dictators are making some headway with cleaning up the undesirables before the 2008 Olympics, one can only wonder how many more Mao worshipers will follow suit.
With the red wall slowly crumbling down, the dictators can no longer divorce themselves from their own miserable, gory history of bloodlust and merciless killings -- they are feeling threatened and haunted by their own shadows.
I'm sure this is enough to have Mao turn in his grave while others are digging their own graves.

Somehow, US intelligence identified “the Houthis’ top missile guy” and pinpointed his exact location. At 1348 hours (Washington time), March 15, President Trump’s national security advisor Mike Waltz texted, “positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building.” The unsuspecting Romeo entered. High above, the drone monitoring the building registered a flash. When the smoke cleared, Mr. Waltz texted, “…And it’s now collapsed.” RIP. The star-crossed “top missile guy” had been target number one in the now uproarious US Navy bombing campaign on that Sunday against the Yemeni rebels who have been holding the Red Sea hostage since October 19,
China on Tuesday, April Fool’s Day, began two-day joint-force military exercises around Taiwan, painting them as a “severe warning and forceful containment against Taiwan independence.” However, the exercises have again proven the country increasingly showcasing its military muscles to be a true “troublemaker.” Without prior notice, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Eastern Theater Command launched large-scale exercises codenamed “Strait Thunder-2025A,” deploying aircraft, drones and naval vessels including the Shandong aircraft carrier, as well as armed militia in the air and waters around Taiwan. The PLA claimed the military exercises were practice for precision strikes and a blockade to “close
Taiwan on Monday celebrated Freedom of Speech Day. The commemoration is not an international day, and was first established in Tainan by President William Lai (賴清德) in 2012, when he was mayor of that city. The day was elevated to a national holiday in 2016 by then-president Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文). Lai chose April 7, because it marks the anniversary of the death of democracy advocate Deng Nan-jung (鄭南榕), who started Freedom Era Weekly to promote freedom of expression. Thirty-six years ago, a warrant for Deng’s arrest had been issued after he refused to appear in court to answer charges of
Days ago, foreign media reported that Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command Director Lin Xiangyang (林向陽) is suspected to have disappeared under suspicious circumstances. The Eastern Theater Command is the core military department responsible for operations against Taiwan — the purging of its director, if true, would be a major blow to the morale of the Chinese military and the success of its training. On Tuesday morning — April Fool’s Day — the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Eastern Theater Command suddenly announced the launch of joint military exercises in the air and maritime spaces surrounding Taiwan. The exercises
